Our story…

Nicole Stewart

Founder + Lead Designer

Founded in 2025 by Nicole Stewart, Jenness Interiors LLC combines artistry, creativity, and problem-solving to create spaces that are both elegant and functional. Nicole, a self-taught designer, has always had a natural eye for color, consistency, and detail—bringing thoughtful, beautiful solutions to any design challenge. Her lifelong pursuit of excellence in visual design has been driven by passion, dedication, and a commitment to continually honing her craft.

Nicole’s design journey began early, shaped by her experience as a twice-exceptional student—gifted with advanced problem-solving skills and creativity, while navigating the challenges of dyslexia. This combination gave her a unique perspective, empowering her to think beyond conventional approaches and craft innovative, personalized designs.

She attended The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, where she studied Visual Communications, later expanding her skills in UI/UX design. While she enjoyed these creative fields, Nicole’s true passion has always been interior design. After moving to Chattanooga, TN with her husband and children, she chose to fully embrace that passion, blending her design expertise with her love for creating beautiful, functional homes.

At Jenness Interiors, Nicole’s mission is simple: to design spaces that reflect both style and functionality, tailored to each client’s needs. Every project is approached with creativity, attention to detail and a focus on problem-solving—resulting in interiors that are as livable as they are visually stunning. Nicole takes pride in creating homes that feel deeply personal, welcoming, and truly “you.”

The story behind the name…

Honoring Our Roots

At Jenness Interiors, family is at the heart of everything we do. Our name is more than a title—it’s a tribute to the generations who shaped us. In honor of founder Nicole Stewart’s beloved grandmother and great-grandmother, the company carries forward a legacy of care, connection, and enduring values. Just as family shapes who we are, it shapes the spaces we create: each design is thoughtfully crafted to nurture togetherness, warmth and the moments that make a house a home.

For us, honoring family isn’t just tradition—it’s the guiding story behind every project we bring to life.
