MISSION
At JNI, we seek to bring joy by creating interiors filled with meaning, relevance, heart, and soul. Our specialty is discovering distinctive art, furnishings, and emerging brands that transform our clients’ homes from simply beautiful to truly bespoke. This type of interior styling requires the heart of a hunter — and that we have.
Drawing inspiration from art, architecture, and craftsmanship from near and far, we source through our curated network of galleries, antique stores, consignment shops, and design centers to create homes that feel layered, collected, and deeply personal. Whether your goal is full-service design or guidance for a DIY project, we approach every collaboration with warmth, creativity, and a spirit of partnership to reveal your style and story.

Julie has a rare gift for envisioning how a space will come together and communicating that vision in a way that feels effortless and clear. From a rug I already owned, she created the entire color story for my new build home. Her instinct for color is remarkable, and she gave me the confidence to embrace shades that truly reflect my personality and style. Beyond selecting wallpapers and fabrics, Julie designed furniture for my office and living room, giving me a creative way to display my art and increasing my storage options. My home now feels like a welcoming refuge—warm, inviting, and completely authentic to who I am.

We are thrilled with our apartment that Julie so thoughtfully designed and renovated. She is a talented designer who created a warm, welcoming, and beautifully layered home that perfectly reflects our personalities. Julie listened carefully to our needs, embraced our love of color and pattern (rather than the typical monotone NYC look), and sourced and commissioned the perfect artwork and artisan pieces. The finished space is uniquely ours — and while we're delighted, we're a little sad the collaborative hunt for those perfect pieces is over. We couldn't recommend Julie more.

When I first bought my home, I was wavering about hiring a designer since I am a creative person myself. So let me just say that working with Julie turned out to be the best decision I could have made! Julie is a meticulous designer. Having a great eye for color, pattern and placement, Julie beautifully incorporated my substantial art collection and existing furniture with new textiles, paint colors and wallpaper that produced a home that gives me joy, pleasure, inspiration and comfort every day! She is a great troubleshooter and always brings an upbeat, can-do energy. I love her willingness to be bold and think out of the box. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
