My experience and background.
|
You don’t need a design trend, you need an oasis for your soul. Your house can’t nurture, inspire, or motivate you if it doesn’t reflect those who live there. Most people don’t know this instinctively. There is often a gap between a beautifully decorated home and one that feels good to be in. Meaningful aesthetics fill the void; they are powerful in stirring up our emotional and physical responses to the spaces we spend time in. Home dwellers face the overwhelm of creating a home that feels good; one that feeds their soul, fills them with joy, and replenishes their energy. |
Your guests can’t feel welcome when you’re uncomfortable in your own space.
Hi, I’m Jody Pear. I guide people through home and office transformations. I’ve designed kitchen renovations, floor plans, furniture arrangements, accessory placement, and color selections. I’ve worked with homeowners and office workers to add more joy into their space so visitors feel welcome and occupants feel more comfortable.
How I Can Help You
What do you love and hate about your home or work space? How do you want to feel when you’re there?
I use my professional interior design skills and empathetic nature to guide you so that you feel confident in transforming your space into one that reflects who you are and fills you with joy.
I created various services so that you don’t have to feel uncertain or overwhelmed by the design process. Now you can experience the art of designing and decorating with intention, in a manner that expresses who You are instead of the latest trend.

My Background
I am an expert in storytelling through the process of decorating, an internationally trained House-Coach, a professional interior designer, trained by Maria Killam in the SYSTEM for Specifying Colour®, author of The Art of Decorating with Intention (A guidebook in creating an oasis for your soul) and a video course, creator of photo collages that I call Soul Snapshots, and author of various other books.
I spoke about Designing Life With A Purpose with Color Blind Magazine.
I presented at the Soul Oasis and Vision Board Workshop with Megan Gunnell, and was featured in the Grosse Pointe News.
My fascination with storytelling through decorating has been my natural inclination since childhood. It wasn’t until I discovered a tool used in Feng Shui, called the Bagua Map, and my training as a House-Coach that I discovered a way to systemize and teach this to others. It has all evolved into what Jody Pear Designs offers today, once again proving that my mom was right when she said, "Jody's a late bloomer."
I live in Grosse Pointe Woods where I love to spend time on Lake St. Clair nearly every day in the warm months.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT JODY
Jody will change your life by empowering you to...
...change your space. Unlike designers who lay their own style templates onto your space, Jody focuses on what makes YOUR heart sing and what feeds YOUR soul ... and she helps you make it beautiful. I highly recommend Jody and her approach to helping others create a soul oasis.
Jody Pear did a fantastic job for my wife and I.
She came out to our house quickly and gave us an outstanding plan for our interior design. Jody also created a plan that fit within our budget. We followed her plan and recommendations to develop some outstanding living space within our residence. Jody also created a color plan for the entire main level of our house. My wife could not be more pleased with the final results. Jody also drew up a plan for my office at work. She told me that she wanted to "tell your story" with the photo arrangements and that is exactly what she did. I was extremely pleased with the final product. Jody has an professional eye and attention to detail that produces a fantastic produce. I plan to hire Jody again in the near future when the next set of renovations are scheduled. My wife and I have been extremely pleased with our final results.
I had an office built and contracted Jody Pear Designs ...
...to assist with the design. She gave me a layout which showed different ways to setup the furniture and several color swatches. Her attention to detail was extraordinary because she captured what we talked about. I now have the best looking office at my job and feel extremely comfortable conducting business meetings.
Since meeting Jody in person and subsequently working with her...
... I was immediately taken by her warm personality and absolute passion for design. After meeting Jody and learning more about her unique take on design, I enrolled in her online video course about creating a Soul Oasis. As a designer, she is remarkable. As an instructor, she is extraordinary! Her Soul Oasis course was an incredible journey and I loved adding the elements I learned in her course into my home. The course itself was easy to follow and navigate. I found myself pausing the videos every few moments to jot notes down in my journal! Her suggestions and process of creating a Soul Oasis add meaning and beauty to a space; it came at a perfect time because I was actually going through a move to a new apartment. I feel like creating my Soul Oasis was the final touch the design of my new living space; it was the piece that finally made the house my *home*. Now I love coming home every day and being reminded of my goals and the other things I learned through Jody's process! It is an element that adds inspiration, tranquility, and beauty to my home and I am SO happy I decided to do it. Beyond her course, the work I have seen in person and through her portfolio is inspiring, approachable, and of course beautiful. Working with Jody has been a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.
