from city rat to cowgirl living on a ranchette in central texas.

HI, I’M jenna and I believe we all should live a well designed life.

While I am a city rat at heart, having called downtown Chicago home for 15 years, I am currently embracing my inner cowgirl in central Texas with my husband, 2 children, and our menagerie of animals.

I am an award-winning interior designer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. Over the years, I have cultivated a lifestyle brand centered around the concept of a "well-designed life," which friends and followers have embraced.

This blog is where I can share my expertise and passion for creating a beautiful, intentional life at home. You can explore my home design projects (both personal and Coveted Haus projects), learn about my organization and cleaning strategies, discover delicious recipes for entertaining, and find inspiration for your wellness journey. All of these elements (and more!) contribute to what I call a "well-designed life."

I take the same discovery approach when I'm designing a space as I do when I'm working to enhance my daily life at home - making decisions intentionally, rather than just reacting to circumstances outside my control.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I truly hope you come away from your time here at "A Well Designed Life" with something that inspires you to create a well-designed life at home each and every day.

A "Well Designed Life" - for the rest of us.

As the world moves faster, "living with intention" that is - choosing our own path as opposed to only reacting to the actions of others and circumstances beyond our control - has become more important than ever. Intentional living is the driving force behind my design business, and on this blog, we will explore how to create a life of purpose, simplicity, and fulfillment through mindful choices and deliberate action - but without the glossiness and false perfection that dominates our senses on social media. If you prefer that daily inspirational reading come with a dose of relatable honesty and a few f-bombs, you're in the right place!
