About Us
Since I was young, I have always had a passion, nearly obsession, for even the smallest details and the perfection of them. My creativity, my great and inexhaustible curiosity and desire for experimentation, led me to my love for architecture and design in all of its shades and expressions.
In my professional career, I have always traveled a lot: I have lived in BC, Alberta and now New Brunswick and traveled extensively throughout Canada, US and Europe. While on these trips I am constantly observing other cultures, art, design and architecture which inspires my work when I return.
In 2013 life changes brought me to starting my own venture Kim Jakobsen Design. The open office space of Hemmings House was my first design project in the building and recently completed the office of Revolution Strategy & Talons of Venice, which has just made the top 4 finalist for the "Best Office space Atlantic Canada" Progress Magazine.
My ability to design is based on carefully listening to the customer, making his/her demands “mine” and “presenting” him/her with a new view of the space to be created. I have always been of the idea that in order to get a good design, you do not need to spend a fortune…“put your trust in me, and you’ll be glad you did!
We are passionate about environmentally friendly, sustainable and energy efficient designs. And my mission is to listen, design, create and impress! Let me join your venture, or make me part of it: I will take care of it and it will be a special project.

Kim Jakobsen Design - Kim - worked with my husband and I in transforming almost EVERY room in our 3 level brownstone. We had our own ideas as to the vision of the finished project, but we never imagined how beautiful the results would be. Kim is the perfect work- mate; smart, creative, patient, and with a fantastic eye for detail.
We could not be any happier with our home, and it would not have been possible without the expertise of Kim.
Our project was daunting- to say the least - but having Kim at our side made the impossible possible.
We would not hesitate to recommend Kim to anyone. She’s one of a kind.

We hired Kim to put beautiful Hunter Blinds in our home. From start to finish Kim was great to work with. She jumps at the opportunity to give each of her clients the best experience and service..whether the project is big or small. If you are looking for that designer that goes the extra mile and really appreciates her clients..Kim is the one.

I engaged with Kim Jakobsen to help me design my basement media room. it was pretty dated and I needed some help. I wanted a comfortable room and was worried about making design mistakes. I did have some ideas and I knew I wanted a general theme that included my art and love of NYC and a rustic industrial theme. Kim had great ideas in furniture, built ins, paint colors, flooring and overall design of the space. I am thrilled with all of it and how it all came together. Kim was easy to work with, explained things well and very importantly she communicated well with me, my contractor and electrician. I am thrilled and would highly recommend Kim. You won't go wrong. Looking forward to the next project!!!

Thanks Jane! Glad you found me on Houzz. Your project was so fun to work. Love that you like supporting local and choose to have bespoke tables and stools made by a local woodworking shop Elwood's wood Lab. Looking forward to working with you on your next project! Thanks for your kind words:)

Kim has been my "go to person" for all decorating and design needs in my home. Whether its a quick fix for lighting selection, outdoor spaces or a major bathroom overhaul, she understands my personality and style and has incorporated "me" into all these jobs! Her sunny disposition and great energy can make your day! Her work crews are very professional, on budget, timely and pleasant to deal with! I highly recommend her design firm for all your design projects, big or small!

We have the pleasure of working with Kim at Kim Jakobsen Design on designing and decorating our dream home in NL. She was recommended by friends from Saint John and after a visit to NB, an opportunity to view some of her work, we knew we made the right decision. In using Skype to discuss our ideas, Kim is always readily available, often later in evenings, to accommodate our schedules. We greatly appreciate how accommodating she is and how she has sacrificed her own free time to meet with us. Kim is very professional, creative and friendly. she has a true vision for her projects and works well to ensure the interior design matches her client's likes. Kim has impeccable taste. I highly recommend Kim for interior and exterior design.

Debbie your project has been wonderfully rewarding to my creative spirit, not to mention working with such a lovely family who showed me the way of life on the beautiful island NFLD. Can't wait to come and put the finishing touches on your home and then share the photo's of your beautiful family home.

My husband and I hired Kim Jakobsen Design to furnish and update a two bedroom condo we own at York Point in Saint John, New Brunswick. This is an executive rental income property; therefore we needed it to be extremely attractive to the real estate market and perspective clients.
Kim is very knowledgeable in this area. She has a very sunny attitude and expresses excitement for the project at hand. Her ability to visualize all the details and put everything together with the budget given was amazing. Kim provided us with a modern attractive condo, from changing out light fixtures adding new wall hangings, all new kitchen ware, small appliances, linens, etc. to furnishing the entire condo.
Kim completed this project with in the time lines we gave her. She kept in touch during the entire time and made sure we were pleased with her design and purchases.
Kim is very professional and budget minded. We would not hesitate to recommend her to future clients.

Involved in a large commercial project that has incurred many revisions. Throughout, Kim has been the consummate professional and has managed to meet some excessively tight timelines and requests from our end. Through all of it, she has remained positive, professional and inspired. Would hire her again for residential as well as commercial work.

Kim Jakobsen did a fabulous job on the design of our IdeaSpaces. From beginning to end, she was client-focused and professional. She kept our needs and budget in mind, while creating spaces for students that looked both modern and comfortable and would encourage creativity and innovation.
