For more than 20 years, Jen has been a guiding hand and warm heart for the projects that she has collaborated on in Canada and the UK. Her love for the classic English kitchen and antiques are pillars of her aesthetic, along with natural materials and colours that will age gracefully, are sustainable, and friendly to our health. 

 

Jen created VMI with a focus on function, which is rooted in the fact that good design is felt and not just seen. She applies an insatiable curiosity for the human experience to design intuitive, responsive, and beautiful homes for living in.
