"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."Hi. I'm Jolene. I'm an Interior Designer that has a major passion for sustainable, smart and sassy design. I'm a wife who is wildly in love with my husband and a mother who adores and cherishes our son. I'm a cook who is insanely passionate about good, healthy food. I am a student, learning to maintain my body and enlighten my mind. I a am soul discovering myself through this crazy, beautiful, amazing journey we call life.
Recently, I've become insanely curious about everything. How can we grow and learn anything if we do not question everything. I love beautiful and interesting things and I love documenting life and the things that makes us who we are. And at the end of the day, what I really want, is to be able to make wise choices in life. I love, love, love smart design, eating right, aiming for a balanced life, and learning to live well.
Smart Design
We need to take care of our spaces and design our interiors to fit our needs. I'm tired of buying things just to have "stuff". I always tell my clients, don't rush into anything you are not sure of. You should surround yourself with things you love and that inspire you. My job is not to fill your space with junk, but to fill your space with pieces of you.
Eating Right
I love food. I love good healthy food even more. When I sit down to a meal, each bite I take is a special, private moment between me and that delicious morsel. And that relationship does not end in my mouth, but only continues on to serve it's true purpose which is to keep me strong and to help me live another glorious day. Yes, I take my food very serious.
Balanced Life
Educate our minds.
Exercise our bodies.
Feed our souls.
I'm a yogi, a runner, and I'm learning to meditate. Culture and diversity is very important to me. We need art. We need good music. We don't have to have the same religion or belief system, but please, believe in something that is good. Hope, love, and faith is a great recipe for living a balanced life.
Live Well
Have fun and enjoy life. There are ups and downs but embrace it all. It's a struggle sometimes. I know. Nothing is ever always perfect. But somehow, we have to make it work.
