Her background in merchandising means Jaclyn can’t resist styling shelves with people’s favorite collected items. But it also means she understands the importance of visuals and the flow of a space—be it a tent for a wedding reception, the dining area of a restaurant, or a heavily-trafficked living space. Along with her intuition and empathy, her skills lie in understanding what will be most impactful, important and memorable to her clients and their (or her) guests as they enter and experience a space.
Whether she’s at the helm of a wedding or an interior,
Jaclyn Journey won’t tell the same story twice.
In part because she empathetically designs through her intuition and draws inspiration from her clients’ life experience, family backgrounds, travels, and lifestyles. And also because using unique concepts, eclectic and unexpected pieces, colors of the earth, and a mix of antique and modern pieces, the end result is always distinct.
Known for her love of Pinterest and pulling inspiration together from places near and far, Jaclyn uses the tool to gather images of architecture, flowers, fashion, travel, art, textures, and just about anything that sparks her interest that could somehow fold in to an idea she’s hatching.
Married in Louisville, Kentucky in 2011, Jaclyn and her husband, Chris, welcomed their son Kit to their family in 2016 and Sebastian in the Spring of 2024. In her free time, you can find her spending time with her big Arab family, cooking, traveling, and studying nature and spirituality or working on home projects.
She’s currently trying her hand at gardening and maintaining the beautiful Japanese garden backyard that they recently inherited along with the renovation of their new home in 2022.
