Why Bazalel

My name is Jennifer, and I genuinely enjoy assembling IKEA furniture. 

I graduated in 2015 with my BFA in Interior Design from Wayne State University in Detroit. I became a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and began my career as a Design Consultant at Virginia Tile Company. Working in the showroom allowed me to collaborate closely with homeowners and fellow designers — helping them select materials and bring their tile visions to life.

My career evolved into a role on the Customer Service team, where I dove deeper into the installation side of design and procurement. Learning the technical processes only strengthened my love for practical, hands-on solutions — especially for the DIY homeowner.

When the pandemic hit, I stepped away from Virginia Tile to embrace stay-at-home mom life with my eldest son. During that season, I found joy designing for friends and family while my own family continued to grow. After my daughter was born, I returned to the industry as part of a design firm in Ferndale — wearing many hats as design assistant, office manager, product procurement lead, and invoicing coordinator. I am so grateful for every role and the knowledge I gathered along the way. 

I married my husband, whom I met at Wayne State, in 2018 and together we began building our family, rooted in love and faith. Three crazy dogs, three incredible babies, and three houses later — all I can say is: thank You, God, for this beautiful life.

My home is the best kind of loud — filled with laughter, music, and the joyful chaos of childhood. My sofas are jumped on (because how else do you fly?), and my kitchen is the never-quiet heart of our home. While I have big dreams for every room, I’m embracing each stage along the journey.

“Life isn’t waiting for the renovation to be finished — it’s happening right now.” 

I know firsthand how important it is for a home to feel personal and purposeful — to support a family’s daily rhythm without sacrificing beauty. That’s why I’m passionate about partnering with families who want spaces that support their rhythm, honor their personality, and evolve with them over time.

Whether you’re dreaming big and going all-in or rolling up your sleeves and tackling it DIY-style, I’m here to guide you with a balance of expertise, encouragement, and genuine care. Together, we’ll design a home that welcomes you in, celebrates who you are, and continues to grow beautifully with every new season.
