Episode 006 – Jenn, Interior Architect

What does it really mean to design spaces that make people feel something?

In this episode, interior architect and creator Jenn Pearson shares the winding path that led her to a career in design — from falling in love with interiors as a kid in Texas to discovering interior architecture after being rejected from a different program at Virginia Tech. Jenn opens up about early career uncertainty, the power of networking, supplementing her early salary through fashion and lifestyle blogging, and how setbacks helped shape a career that feels truly aligned.

We talk about navigating relocations as a military wife, building a creative career while becoming a new mom, and what the day-to-day work of an interior architect actually looks like today — including remote work, corporate vs. residential design, and the tools she uses (hello, Revit and material samples). If you’ve ever been curious about interior design, architecture, or careers that don’t follow a straight line, this episode is for you.
