Inspired By:

The ever-changing and evolving design trends continue to inspire me every day. Whether that’s in workplace, hospitality, retail, or residential design. The way the workplace has evolved into more of a hospitality-driven environment is changing the way people work. The last several years have reshaped how we look at office design and I think that’s absolutely something to be inspired by.

Keys to a Successful Project:
Building strong relationships within the full project team. From your internal design team to the client, project manager, general contractor, furniture dealer, signage vendor, and many more hats. Creating these strong relationships not only make for a successful project, but can also open the door to future opportunities together.

Interests Outside of Work:

You can catch me out and about in River North with my fiancé Enzo, trying new restaurants with friends, or being a couch potato while binging the latest trending show. I’m also an active board member in IIDA’s Illinois Chapter and love participating in design industry events! In my downtime, I enjoy reading, cooking, impulse shopping, listening to Tswift, and spoiling my golden retriever, Murph. If I’m not doing any of the above, I’m probably wedding planning or vacuuming “golden glitter” off my floor.

“Jordan is an extraordinary interior designer, blending creativity and vision to create inspiring and captivating spaces. Her sense of professionalism is apparent in every interaction, whether with a client or a teammate. She is extremely detail oriented as well as creative, keeping her projects and deliverables always on schedule. She is an amazing leader in the office and is well deserving of this award!”
