Jodell Clarke Designs

Every project with Jody has been a success. I appreciate her dedication to quality products and value. Our projects have focused on updating my home with flooring and furnishings. She has a genuine interest in understanding the style you envision and willing to take on projects in stages. It’s her attention to detail and the finish out that is most impressive. She works diligently to make sure the project is done correctly and timely. It’s always a pleasure to work with Jody.

Jody was excellent. She brought my dental office from the 1970s to today on a shoestring budget! She worked with all the different vendors to get a nice flow for the office. I am so much happier coming to work now. Everyone comments on our brand new lobby, and how much it is improved. Several patients have even asked for her card, and I happily share it!

My husband and I have been so fortunate to have worked with Jody on a multi-stage project remodeling and refreshing multiple rooms in our home. We have found her to be very easy to communicate with and very responsive to our questions and concerns. Her professionalism and ability to meet our budget needs have been outstanding. She managed to create spaces that reflect our tastes but with elements that we would not have thought of. Her contacts that performed the work have been universally of high quality, producing amazing results with timeliness and respect. Jody has an ability to listen and relate to multiple voices then convert this into a vision that works for everyone. We are thrilled to continue to work with her.

We recently moved to a bigger home and contacted Jody (Jodell) with a request for a “small “ project: to make our home look better, professionally done, basically- using what we already had ... and while combining our two very different styles (I’m a farm house girl and my husband is very rustic- modern). From our first phone conversation to the end result, working with Jody was pure fun! She’s very attentive, professional, with a lot of experience and knowledge. She explained everything and took the time to help us “get it”. She always listened to our preferences, questions and ideas and wisely combined it all together for one look that is right for our personalities and needs. Can’t wait to start another project together!!

Jody supervised the remodeling of the kitchen in my guest house in August - September of this year. The project was completed on time and under budget (a little over$10K) and looks great IMHO. She had a bunch of good suggestions about countertops, appliances, etc., all of which I followed. She was easy for me to work with and she got along well with the trades, whom she chose. I would happily use her again.

Jodell is personable and knows what she is doing. She has the ability to look at a room, see what needs to be rearranged, and know where to place things to optimize the look you are seeking. She also was respectful of our budget, and we repurposed many paintings and decorations that we already owned. I love the final results - the living room seems more spacious, we now have a beautiful rug that matches our recovered couch, and the look is totally new. We're still working on parts of it, but Jodell has given us a great start in the right direction.

I have known and worked with Jody for many years and have utilized her amazing skills for several design jobs in my home, including the much needed update of my living room, dining room, and bedroom. I think what makes Jody so special as a designer is that although she definitely has her own personal design aesthetic, she really takes the time to get to know YOU as a client (and friend) and improves your personal space in a way that reflects her amazing skill and artistry along with the elements and style that you love. In other words, she is no one-trick pony! Whether you're contemporary, traditional, rustic, eclectic, etc...She has a way of finding and creating great new pieces to incorporate into your space, while also being a whiz at pulling together what you currently own and using them in a new and beautiful way that you would have never imagined.

Jody called our company to provide cabinetry and counter tops for the kitchen area and the conference room of an office in a high rise building. In an effort to reduce cost for her client she used as much of the existing decor as she could and still provide them with a new and contemporary look. She communicated very clear what she wanted to accomplish for her client and also used a very collaborative approach in working with our design team so we were able to work with existing materials to get a good match. She managed her clients expectations beautifully and keep all the moving pieces of the project on a tight timeline to meet deadlines. She is extremely talented and creative and a pleasure to work with. Jody is a true professional and I would recommend her to partner with on any interior design project or any client that is looking for extraordinary results. Chris Kitchen Design Concepts

This is the second time that my wife and I have put our trust in Jodell Clarke Designs. Our decor could be described as "old world" and we are currently transitioning to a more cleaner, more orderly, less bulky transitional design. Our budget did not allow for a "Big Bang" so things have to evolve. Back in 2015, Jodell started to refresh our hallways, master suite, family room, and kitchen. It looks great and it is timeless. We also have a affinity for the Wine Country and it can be a challenge to incorporate the Wine Country which is more traditional/Old World to be more transitional/contemporary; however, Jodell and her team were able to make it happen. I like how they involved me in the beginning to get my vision and then brought elements to me in a Good, Better, or Best form so I could focus on where I wanted to prioritize my budget since it was not limitless. My wife and I enjoyed the grand reveal and were truly touched. In July, 2016 we once again consulted with her on a new project. We have a game room upstairs that had a nice bar; however, it was very underwhelming. When we came home from a hard day at work it was easy to make up an excuse to not climb upstairs to relax as the space was not compelling, interesting, or inviting. We told her that we wanted it done prior to the Cowboys first game and was it ever done! Looks and feels amazing. Now we have two beautiful living spaces that Jodell created for us and it is difficult to choose between them which is a really nice "problem" to have. We put our trust in Jodell and her team and have absolutely no regrets. It turned out marvelous and we highly recommend her. I would love to attach pictures; however, I choose not to do that as they would not bring justice to her creation.

I consider myself a woman of good taste. I have lived in the same house for the last 14 years and have rearranged the furniture and the pictures in my living room many, many times. I had just repainted the walls and had the floors refinished and was ready for a new look. Jody came in and in three hours rearranged everything in a way I could not have imagined and will never change again. She suggested that my old sofa and rugs were fine and we just replaced the window treatments (30 years old) and one old chair. I can't wait to see the final results.

Jody has done a great job in understanding our objectives in redecorating certain rooms in our home as well as our lake house. We have been particularly grateful and impressed with her organizational skills (which seem equal only to her taste and decorating skills). We have met several times and each time, Jody has a list of objectives and most are centered around understanding what we are trying to achieve. Our first experience with Jody was in redecorating our master bedroom at our home in Carrollton. Unlike other experiences we have had with other decorators, Jody worked toward making a completed project that could be revealed when we were returning from a family vacation. What a great experience to return home and our master had been transformed into a tranquil and soothing retreat. We gave Jody quite a bit of latitude and each item placed in our bedroom was a real winner. Additionally we have used Jody to transform our guest bedroom at our Carrollton home into an inviting space for our guests. Her use of color and fabrics is exceptional. Jody was careful to show us samples and work within our budget to achieve a truly beautiful space. Jody has also completed a redo of two of our bedrooms at our Lake House and is currently working on the plan and execution of a complete redecoration of our master at our lake house. As an example of her forethought, Jody supplied a grouping of photos we had taken on an African Safari and was so good to provide a complete, full size template for hanging the grouping of photographs. It literally took my friend and I, 20 minutes to hang all the photos and it looks great. We have truly enjoyed working with Jody and are happy to recommend her to you!

Redesign of a 9200 sq.ft. office for two companies operating in a common space. This was a relocation from another building that housed the two companies in 5600 sq.ft. There are 26 offices, 2 conference rooms, a large board room, a receptionist area and an employee kitchen and lunch room with seating for 24. The total relocation and design was completed in 4 months, start to finish.

Jody Clarke's work struck the right chord in my mind. I am living here happily ever since. Like she was be able to peer into my mind instead of asking barrage of questions. Thank you so much.

Jodi Clarke is a very good listener and continues to help me with my home and office decorations. She offers excellent ideas and concepts, offers selections within a budgeted range and delivers promptly. Although Jodi's personal taste may be quite different than mine, she offers ideas and decorations that attract me. She assisted me with furniture selection and oversaw delivery and placement of my office desk, credenza, and wall decorations. She has a knack for incorporating my outdoor adventures and family history with a flair in her arrangements, but never overcrowding. Jodi previously helped decorate my home with my wife, assisted with fabric selection for couches and chairs, and located very interesting artwork as accents. Her fees are very reasonable and she works well within a budget. Most important-I am thrilled with my office!

Jody worked with me on the remodel of Flower Mound Texas home in 2012. We were remodeling to sell and Jody kept me from making personal choices to what was trending at the time and using finishes for my market area. The house sold within the first six hours to the first couple that looked at the home. I am now on the books to work with Jody in my current home but this time we will be decorating to please me with plans to keep this home for a very long time.

Jody is an exceptionally gifted designer who is familiar with all design styles and can adapt to your taste seamlessly. If you are unsure about how to pull your style together, Jody can guide you with color schemes, furniture selection, paint colors, lamps, rugs and all the important details to make your home beautiful and comfortable. I hired Jody to help me complete the comfortable, neutral and natural style I had envisioned for my home. We bought several new upholstered pieces and reupholstered existing furniture. We also painted several antiques lighter colors to compliment the updated look and my art work was refreshed with new framing. If you have favorite pieces that you are unsure how to incorporate into your home, Jody can guide you. In my case, we re-purposed several pieces such as an old rusted garden gate that is now my prized fireplace screen. Jody always finds the perfect spot to make my favorite things shine. I recently hosted a bridal shower for 40 women and was excited to show off my newly decorated home. As the guests arrived, I received many compliments about how beautiful my home looked. When the party was over, I was so very proud of the work Jody did for me. The greatest compliment and testament to Jody’s skills was the fact that not one of my guests asked which designer I used. Jody truly designed my home to reflect the essence of my family and me. I love walking in the door, knowing that I am home and take great delight in everything I see!

Working with Jodell Clarke has been a great experience! She was recommended to me by an artist friend who told me she was excellent with mixing the old and the new. By inheriting some pieces that I wanted to incorporate into my home I had a crowding problem and I needed a fresh, new look. She delivered! She was caring and professional as we made decisions about what should stay....go...or add new. The project included a bit of every room in the house including new pieces, reframing, choosing wallpaper and fabrics to redo old pieces and adding rugs, lamps and accessories. I absolutely love the way that she has mixed my sentimental objects into the scheme and seamlessly worked it all out. She quickly understood my personality and her suggestions were right on for us! I highly recommend Jodell Clarke for any project...large or small. She is both professional, friendly, and efficient in her legwork and billing practices.

Jody has assisted me with interior design of two different homes. These projects involved design work for all rooms in our home including the kitchen, living areas, dining room, master bedroom and children's bedrooms. Jody always understood the look we were trying to achieve and she consistently delivered on time and on budget. I have worked with other designers but I believe Jody is unique because she has creative ideas and she produces a wonderful look that gives you the most bang for the buck. I look forward to hiring Jody again for our next interior design project.

Jodell Clarke Designs is a wonderful design group! I have hired Jody for several projects and have never been disappointed! I appreciate her knowledge and her honesty. She has great taste and helped me to repurpose some items in my home as well as find the perfect new pieces to add. She respected my budget at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any home or commercial project. Jody has many gifts and talents. I hope if you are reading this you will have the opportunity to experience all that Jodell Clarke Designs has to offer!

As a former member of Jody's Visual Merchandising team at Fossil, I regard Jody as professional, articulate, wonderfully creative, and precise to the last detail. Jody gave 110% and never settled for mediocrity no matter how big or small the project may have been. She brought out the best in her visual team; always encouraging and positive. She managed her time well and was blessed with the ability to manage the diverse personalities of her team members, not only effectively but with genuine care.

Jody is so creative and helpful. We moved into a new home downsizing) and I was feeling overwhelmed with all the decisions to be made about what would fit where, Jody came in and I showed her some pictures of ideas I had and she made them happen. Pictures were hung, rugs bought and shelves were arranged. Our home really feels comfortable now and most of all it feels like us!

With genuine sincerity, Jody actively listens to her client’s wants and needs so that she can incorporate a unique sense of style and personality into each and every project she touches. She is amazingly conscientious and considerate of her client’s ideas, deadlines, and budgets. You can count on her to be forthcoming. Jody’s professional background and experience is reflected in her flair for creativity and artistry: especially when it comes to accessorizing. Nothing about Jody is “cookie cutter”.

Jody helped me furnish and decorate my new home in the style I wanted, but she also helped me stretch in some new directions. The results are lovely -- I've had nothing but compliments and I feel so comfortable here. My bedroom, pictured, is my favorite space.

I have the distinct pleasure to photograph Jodell Clarke's design projects. She is very hands on during the project and sees to each and every detail. I have watched her make design decisions that enhance the room beautifully, yet keep it fully functional. She has an excellent rapport with her clients and structures her design philosophy around their lives and lifestylyes, whether adult or child. Great sense of color, pattern, texture and style!

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Jodell and she is a very talented designer. She is able to design to meet the clients needs and create a space that works for their lifestyle. I enjoy working on projects with her, as she is very professional and easy to work with.

Today I did touch up for one of Jody's clients. While I was there, I was amazed by Jody's efficiency at knocking out a laundry list of tasks. All done with the greatest attention to detail and perfection. She worked with the clients own collection and gave pieces the balance they needed.

When I replaced my hardwood floors and painted the living and dining room area, I had a minimal budget to work with. Jody's keen eye made all the difference in the world. After choosing the flooring, paint colour, fabric to reupholster the sofa and a new area rug she worked with what I already had. Jody is excellent at listening to her client's needs, taste and working within the available budget, then taking existing furniture and accessories, and staging them in a way that totally changes the feel and look of any room. I would highly recommend the services of Jodell Clarke Designs for any level of home renovation.
