Recently, we profiled the firm and Owner and Personal Designer, Jenn Robbins to discover more about the innovative creations that she offers to clients. With almost two decades of experience in design and over 30 years of decorating, Jenn Robbins creates a personalized look to fit a modern lifestyle. Jenn’s overall aim is to create timeless designs with a luxury look through mixing of patterns and textures. In 2013, Jenn started Muse Interior Design and partnered with contractors on remodels; but her passion was always in home décor and furnishings, which was something that was never going to change. With a passion for creating luxury interiors that inspire, Jenn rebranded the design firm in 2016 with a focus on personalized designs for interior clients. Since rebranding, Jen has had the opportunity to work with clients from coast to coast on a variety of interiors. Going into detail about the approach taken when working alongside a new client, Jenn begins by explaining to us how she ensures from the start that the best possible outcome is achieved. “When it comes to taking on a new client or project, it starts with a call or an email to learn some of the ins and outs of the project and book an initial visit to their home for a nominal fee. I also give them some design homework – including a questionnaire and ask them for inspiration images and what they like. At the initial visit, I come in and we go over initial paperwork, the questionnaire, and inspiration images. We talk about the project scope, timeline, needs and budget, and I give them an idea of deliverables and what they can expect from me and what I expect from them. In that initial visit, it’s important to discuss expectations, so that all parties enjoy the process, and the end result. I find collaboration and communication speaks volumes to my clients.” As for Jenn’s overall aims for Muse Interior Design, she details how numerous designers have very similar processes and trade partners, however, Jenn finds value in understanding products and researching them for her clients, as she further explains. “In my spare time, I am researching companies and products for my clients. If something goes out of stock or is backordered, I’m contacting the vendor and the and the client at the same time if I can. After
