“We can choose to live by default or by design.”
Jenna’s Story
Founder of The Designed Season Studio
In 2020, I experienced a total seasonal shift. After 27 years, my marriage ended, my career transitioned, and my youngest of five children turned 18. Suddenly, I was living alone, facing the task of rebuilding every significant part of my life. My personal designed season began in a small rented bedroom. I realized I needed a space that could "hold" me while I rediscovered who I was outside of my roles as a mother, wife, or employee. As I discovered more about what I enjoyed, was interested in, how I was naturally skilled, what I wanted to do more of, less of, do different, I carefully and intentionally designed my environment by selecting only things that spoke to that updated version of Jenna. That space became my palate to create, an anchor to keep me grounded and my sanctuary to rest. My internal journey was deeply connected to my external environment. Early on, it felt like moving through Seasons—
Autumn’s letting go of what had beautifully faded.
Winter’s quiet stillness embracing the “in-between”.
Spring’s early signs of hope of new growth.
Summer’s invitation to warmth and rest.
My own experience has been a life changing opportunity to honor my past for all that it provided and look forward to my future as simply a season that I can design. Today, I am still a mom, a creator, and a partner—but with a reclaimed identity and a curated space that reflects and supports the woman I am becoming.
I have successfully served clients separately as either their Home Organizer or their Life Coach. The Designed Season Studio is the hybrid advantage of both. My unique combination of Identity Coaching and Environment Design, ensures that “where you are living” aligns with “who you are becoming”. Whether you’re starting over or simply stepping up to a new starting line, I’m here to help you clear the threshold so you can finally move confidently into Your Designed Season.
Why Work With Me
I founded The Designed Season Studio to help clients move beyond simply “tidying up”. By blending spatial expertise with life coaching, I help you navigate life’s seasonal transitions with grace, intentionality, and a home that supports your next season.
Having called the Pacific Northwest home for most of my life, I have a deep-seated love for the diverse landscapes of Washington state—from the quiet, wooded retreats of Lewis County to the vibrant waterfront communities of Pierce and Thurston. My work is inspired by this unique region and the remarkable women who live here. I understand that for a PNW woman, a home is more than just a residence; it is a sanctuary from the bustle, a place for family legacy, and a canvas for her next season. Whether we are redefining your space in a historic Olympia bungalow or a modern North Tacoma loft, my goal is to bring the same sense of balance and natural beauty into your home that we enjoy in our own backyard.
The Hybrid Advantage
I possess the "ear" to hear what you need emotionally and the "eye" to execute what you need physically.
Discretion & Sophistication
I provide a high-touch, confidential service tailored to women who value their time and their aesthetic.
Action-Oriented Results
We move past the talking phase and into the living phase. You will see and feel the transformation in a single session.
A quick note on our work together:
I’m here to help you explore new possibilities for your life and suggest creative ways to refresh your environment. Please keep in mind that my services are purely consultational. While a shift in mindset and refresh of your space can feel great, my advice isn't a substitute for other professional legal, financial, medical, or therapeutic counsel. For any deep-seated clinical or complex professional matters, please be sure to consult with a licensed expert in those fields!
