About

Jen Harkavy

OWNER / PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

Born and raised in New York, Jen developed a deep appreciation for design from a young age, influenced by watching her father craft and design their homes in East Hampton. After many years in New York City, Jen and her family relocated to California in 2009, seeking a new chapter on the West Coast.

With the encouragement of family and friends, she left her career in sales to follow her dreams, and set out to pursue her lifelong passion for interior design. 

In 2020, she founded her design studio, where she blends classic East Coast style with the relaxed elegance of California coastal living.

Jen pursued her education at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the New York School of Interior Design, and OTIS College of Art and Design. 

Currently residing in Palos Verdes with her husband, a teenage son and daughter, and two crazy but lovable pups, she finds inspiration in the coastal landscape and vibrant community around her.
