Jennifer Bishop, met her passion for all things design at a young age. She was constantly inspired by color and pattern and loved how a beautifully designed space could have such an emotional effect on a person.

Jennifer Bishop Design was launched in 2003. It was founded on the principal that a home must function as well as be beautiful.
