Decorating matters.

The items you choose to display in your spaces are telling a story about you. That story can be uplifting or depleting your energy. When you intentionally choose to create a positive self reflection into your surroundings, you are taking powerful steps towards self care; filling yourself up with joy.

Design matters.

When you consider bigger ideas like furniture pieces and the flow and function of spaces, your intentions are the foundation from which to build a plan. The furniture should serve the purpose of how you intend to use the space. The flow and function of the space should serve your needs and desires.

Your feelings matter.

Creating beautiful spaces starts with your heart and reflects your soul. Getting really clear and honest about your true desires and then giving yourself the permission to express it is the path to falling in love with your home or business. Immerse yourself in your own kind of beautiful.

This is your foundation.

Guidebooks
There are two main reasons clients hire me.
​
  1. They want professional advice provided in a brainstorming session (in person or virtual), or
  2. They want a clear plan they can follow to implement the changes they desire

To fulfill the need for a plan, I created the Guidebook and it has been my specialty since the start of Jody Pear Designs in 2013. Each guidebook is unique to the specific needs of the client. Whether it's a 3-5 page summary of notes from our Zoom meeting or it's 60 pages of content I created, I call this a Guidebook.

If we meet in person, your Guidebook will be delivered to you as a faux leather binder with divider tabs and pockets. If we meet virtually, your Guidebook will be emailed to you.

Celebrating 10 years of providing step-by-step guidance with clarity, simplicity, and empathy.

​Hi, I'm Jody
an interior designer, coach, and guide.

My clients are homeowners, rental owners, office workers, salon operators, and boutique business owners. They all have one thing in common: they want their spaces to be purposeful, intentional, and meaningful. Guiding them through the process of falling in love with their space is my deepest passion.

I believe there is no change that we can make to a space that is too small and insignificant. In fact, it is often the smallest of decorative items that provide the most uplifting feelings, especially when they are placed in an intentional and meaningful way.

Rather than structured packages, I offer flexibility in how you want to work with me. I've worked with clients virtually, in person, and strictly through email because each one of us has our own level of comfort and preferred way of communicating. If you have a space that doesn't feel right to you, I want to hear about it and talk about how we can work together to accomplish your visions for your spaces.

I want to know...

  • What do you like and dislike about your spaces?
  • What is and isn't working in this space currently?
  • What is your vision and needs?
  • How can I be the most helpful to you?

Together, we will...

  • brainstorm and talk about possible solutions
  • outline the things you want to accomplish 
  • talk about how you are currently living in your space
  • discover if your intentions are clearly expressed in the decor and supported by the furniture and flow
Reasons people hired me...
"I want to brainstorm possibilities and for you to talk through ideas and suggestions with me."
"I need to refresh and organize my retail space and don't have time."
"I need to purchase new items and don't have time to spend searching for them."
"I want to change our bedroom and don't know where to begin."
"We know there is potential for this space and aren't sure what to do with it."
"We are combining households and feel overwhelmed by the process."
"The color we painted doesn't reflect the moody look we were going for."
"I need help making my home appealing to perspective buyers."
"I need help with kitchen design."
"I want to feel happier in my home without spending a lot of money because I'm moving soon."
"My mom is downsizing to a senior living community and we want to make it feel like her home."
"We are building our dream home and need assistance making all of the necessary decisions along the way."
