About Jennifer
Jennifer’s story is that of a lifelong love affair with the house: a desire to understand it aesthetically, materially, functionally, and philosophically. Like every great relationship it is one in which there is continual dedication, refinement, and growth.
She began her academic career at Dartmouth College, where she indulged her passion for architecture, graduating with a AB in the History of Art and Italian in 1995. These early years were marked by extensive travel throughout Italy and France, and hands-on experience with building materials and historic preservation while working for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Subsequently, she spent a summer at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and earned graduate degrees from both the University of Virginia and Yale University. Each of these institutions gave her the framework for an ever-growing knowledge of design, the history of architecture, historic preservation, and architectural theory. After working as a designer with David D. Harlan Architects, Jennifer opened her own firm in 2004. She has spent the past decade on the construction, renovation and decoration of private residences in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont.
Jennifer lives in Connecticut with her two daughters and a handful of hens. When she is not focusing her attentions on the homes of others, she is focused on her own: the scent of English boxwood, finely pressed linens, a roaring fire or rosé on the terrace. And she knows, fundamentally, that these things, lovely as they may be, are only brought to life by the laughter of children or the presence of friends and family.
