Purposefully enhancing our built environment by applying the mix of creativity and attention to detail that it takes to design exterior structures and interior environments is my passion. Working with clients and colleagues in the collaborative design process is exciting, as is witnessing our design ideas materialize. I find great satisfaction in pushing conventional boundaries and exploring innovative ideas. The job isn't finished until the client is thrilled.
It is intrinsic to my design process to be thoughtful of the final visual composition that will be experienced as well as the user interaction within the finished space.
If you can visualize it, you can achieve it.

Interior architecture has been a vision since childhood. My grandfather is an architectural designer. I grew up watching him draft plans and would often join him on job site meetings. My dad is a realestate broker, my step dad is a developer, my step mom is an interior designer, & my uncle is a general contractor. The list goes on of how deeply tied to the built environment I feel.
Educated in interior achitecture in California, I began work in the field as a designer before graduating. Brought to Seattle for an opportunity at an incredible architecture firm and later recruited to work for a high-end international kitchen design company. I've since worked for a revolutionary trend setting design firm geared towards builders and an award winning contemporary firm on the eastside. I have had my own practice working mostly in the Seattle jurisdiction for the last 10 years.
My experience extends for the past couple decades now in the construction & design industry and I am continuously looking for ways to increase my productivity and enhance my practical knowledge of design.
Testimonials
Working with Jacqueline was wonderful! She designed my Seattle home from the ground up with a focus on livability and space planning. I love my home! -Rachel M. (Seattle)
We had a very tricky kitchen remodel and Jacqueline did an outstanding job helping us create our dream kitchen. Jacqueline drew up multiple options that we asked for and went through the pros and cons of the layouts as well as her own experiences and expertise when remodeling kitchens. Jacqueline was helpful throughout the entire process and was able to encourage contractors to get materials finished on time, advocate for us when things were incorrect from the contractors and make sure our kitchen turned out the way we wanted. STRONGLY recommend using Jacqueline and J Designs worth every penny. - Denny D. (Seattle)
Jacqueline was great to work with, I was very happy with the final designs and plans. She provided helpful insights and suggestions during the design process and moved the permitting process along as much as she could. She is a joy to work with and I have already referred her more clients. - Camie N. (Seattle)
