Why you love what you do? At JSDG, we pride ourselves on changing living spaces, thereby changing habits, lifestyles, and family relationships by giving them a functional space to gather and live.

What sets you apart from your competition? Our team. We are full-service with a team of six with a showroom where we meet with clients.

Best thing about 2021 was? JSDG went into high gear to handle the increased demand, adding two more team members who turned out to be the perfect fit for our growing firm.

Past trends you’d like to see return? Arched openings, beautiful crown moldings, and rounded sofas.

Trends on the horizon? I’m definitely seeing more rounded upholstery, chunkier, rounded dining chairs, layered textures and clean lines, monochromatic hues with pops of color, and less open floor plans.

Best advice you’ve given? Wait 48 hours after furniture, rugs, art, or lighting is installed to react.

Where do you draw inspiration from? Nature including the trees, ocean, and sky; and travel from traveling to Europe and all many beautiful areas of this country.
