Jackie Mendez

Working with Jackie was amazing. She was incredibly receptive to our goals, and worked with us through mutiple iterations of our kitchen remodel plans to get it right. She understood our budget and helped us to make decisions, and find vendors, that would help us stick within our means. While we have yet to start our project due to the Covid pandemic, we hope to do so in the next few months and eagerly await the new kitchen she designed for us.

I highly recommend Jackie at JLM Designs- very professional, receptive to our goals for a new building and responds quickly with helpful information. I feel like I have a friend that I can rely on through the permit and building process that is helping me get to the goal of a new art studio. Will highly recommend!

If you are seeking a highly professional, enthusiastic, dependable and responsive designer that goes above and beyond for you, call Jackie! She was truly amazing to work with on our large sunroom/guest quarters renovation. We had multiple changes and she promptly executed on every request. She assisted in obtaining our permit after every change and was “on it” when we decided to add HVAC to our sunroom by updating our design plan, getting new prints, resubmitting AND getting our Title 24 Report. Best part was that all of our other contractors know her and how great she is to work with. We are definitely hiring her again!

Jackie was recommended to us by our structural engineer and we are so grateful to have found such a talented person. We are remodeling a Victorian which is over a hundred years old and have run into numerous problems. Jackie has been instrumental in finding creative ways to solve the issues and help us to create a modern, super functional home while keep the integrity of the 1890 Victorian. I have been so impressed with Jackie that I just hired her to work on another property!

Jackie did an amazing job with our project. She helped put the final finishing touches (Title 24, electrical, site plan, etc) on our plans for our new home in order to submit them to the county. She was very responsive and was able to assist when I needed it the most. We will definitely be using her services in the future and would recommend her to others.

Jackie at JLM Designs is terrific! She is very creative, detail-oriented and is able to capture and identify the clients' design needs and find affordable options. Design costs are reasonable, and include sample materials, copies of idea sheets, as well as contractor renderings with room measurements. As a Napa Valley Native she is well-connected in the community and is a terrific resource. I highly recommend JLM Designs!

I heard about Jackie through a raving recommendation from a good friend. Before working with her, I didn't understand the value-add of hiring an interior decorator if you more or less know what you want and have relatively good taste. But Jackie proved me wrong, she has an eye for not just making a space look pretty, but completely transforming it into a cohesive aesthetic and pleasing to relax in and call home. I have a small studio in North Beach that came furnished with the most hideous IKEA furniture, smushed together for a cheap motel feel. I took that all apart and was left with a blank canvas but still limited square footage. Somehow despite the large pieces we put in (5' media console, concrete top dining table), Jackie made it feel so much bigger and open. I knew I wanted an industrial/rustic feel but that can easily get gaudy/disneyland-y. I was very happy that Jackie's design and suggestions kept it tasteful yet unique. It took a couple tries to understand exactly what I was looking for, but I am extremely pleased with the end result. She offered options well within budget as well as splurge finds to give you maximum flexibility. She is quick to respond, open to feedback and a talented designer.

Jackie met with me to discuss my needs for three unique spaces. She returned with design boards that pulled every aspect that a person could desire and a job book on the details of where I can find the sources to accomplish the desired look. This is in addition to going through her for items where she can order direct, which could contribute to lowering my cost. I have just begun pulling the rooms together using her designs. Not only did she provide a valuable service, but also an educational one. She has also stated, on more than one occasion, that I can reach out to her, if i have any questions or need help finding items. This has been a very positive experience!

Jackie Mendez of JLM Designs did a great job putting together a terrific design book of suggested items and swatches for a vacation house my husband and I are furnishing. She did so at a reasonable price and within the suggested budget, all within a matter of just a few weeks. She met with us at our (basically empty) vacation house for the initial consultation, and came back with various boards and data sheets containing photos and schematics for furnishing our living room, dining room, 5 bedrooms, and master bathroom -- from furniture (and furniture placement) to window treatments, bedding, and towels. She listened to what we liked and didn't like, and put together a very useful book containing all the suggested items (including revisions based on our second meeting), where to buy the suggested items, and the prices. Jackie was also extremely responsive with my follow-up questions. Her design work services cost under $4000, while we will likely be spending around $35,000 to do basic furnishing of the house.

I contacted Jackie Mendez from JLM designs to plan and decorate my wedding in July of 2013. She did a wonderful job! Once I told her what I had in mind she set out to make it come to life. It was exactly how I envisioned it, only better! She is very creative and very client focused. She made me feel completely at ease about my big day. Overall, I would absolutely recommended her and can't thank her enough for making my wedding stunningly beautiful and just absolutely perfect!!

We hired JLM Designs to design a kitchen remodel for our Arizona home. The designer was very prompt with her response and our initial discussion gave us confidence that she understood the concept we were looking for. She provided us with detailed plans, material samples and conceptual drawings that allowed us to visualize our finished product and allowed us to make any changes. Her ideas were spot on. We love our new kitchen, she was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend JLM Designs.

Jackie did a wonderful job helping me redesign two rooms in my house. She was very professional and wonderful to work with. She brought a whole new vision to my project and we are loving our new space!
