JHL Design

If you haven’t been to Desert Design Week, put it on your radar!

Earlier this month I had the privilege of leading a workshop, at Brown Jordan with fellow designers.

Such a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow creatives, share insights on the business of design, and have some meaningful conversations.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the DDW team for bringing the design community together! Until next year! ✨

Meet Heritage House ✨

A young family found their forever home in this classic Colonial, and we’re helping make it feel like theirs. We’ll be layering in furnishings and thoughtful updates throughout, including wallcoverings, stair runners, lighting, and refreshed moments in the entry, powder bath, and primary bedroom.

The goal is to make it feel collected, curated, and full of personality while honoring what was already there.

Hello, Ancala Courtyard!

This adobe-style Scottsdale home, nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, is getting a fresh start. We’re reimagining the home with a welcoming entry courtyard and water feature, a kitchen designed for gathering, a custom breakfast nook banquette, and a gallery-inspired lounge for the family’s extensive art collection. It will be a full house and casita transformation with all new finishes.

Inspired by the surrounding Sonoran Desert, the interiors draw on natural materials, warm textures, and an earthy palette that feels right at home in the landscape.

Swipe to see the renderings of what’s to come.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on our Black Butte home and the surrounding area during the Oregon wildfires. Thankfully, we’re in a safe zone for now, and so are our clients and friends in the area.

Our hearts are with everyone who has been affected, and we’re incredibly grateful for the firefighters, first responders, and volunteers working tirelessly to protect our communities.

Witt House Kick-off ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Designed by renowned Portland architect Marvin Witt Jr. in 1979, this remarkable home is a beautiful example of Northwest contemporary architecture. Known for his use of natural materials and abundant light, Witt’s work continues to shape Oregon’s architectural legacy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From soaring wood ceilings and sculptural forms to thoughtfully placed windows and skylights that fill the home with natural light, every detail reflects his timeless design philosophy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our approach is centered on preserving the home’s original character while thoughtfully adapting it for modern family life.

At Silverleaf, the home comes to life as the desert cools, with inviting outdoor living, warm light, and seamless connections between indoors and out. Thoughtfully designed for entertaining, quiet mornings, and evenings that naturally drift outdoors, every space invites gathering, conversation, and a slower pace long after the sun goes down.

A day well spent.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Summit Day began in Portland’s Ladd’s Addition Rose Garden, where we spent the morning volunteering and giving back to a place that brings so much beauty to our community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From there, we gathered as a team to reflect on our goals, celebrate how far we’ve come, and look ahead to the year ahead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wrapped up the day the best way we know how, with a barbecue at Holly and David’s, sharing great food, meaningful conversations, and celebrating the team that makes it all possible.
