J Drapery & Design

While I was studying Clothing & Textiles at FSU, I worked part-time as an interior designer. Upon graduating, my career began at Tempting Interiors. My job consisted of helping clients choose window treatments, furniture and accessories to make their house a home. In 1998, after my first child was born, I started my own business, Designing Windows by JoAnn. At this time I helped clients choose hard and soft treatments for their windows. I constructed most of the soft treatments and installed them myself. In 2006, my friend Judy and I began a partnership with her company name, J Interiors, this company combined both our design backgrounds and we were a complete design firm. We did two show houses and our design photos were published in Southern New England Home. In 2015, I joined Smith & Noble! Smith & Noble is America's leading resource for window treatments. In business since 1987, Smith & Noble has outfitted over 8 million homes. Smith & Noble sells a variety of custom window coverings including wood blinds, natural woven shades, roller shades, shutters, draperies, honeycomb blinds, and much more. I resigned in February 2020 to start my own business J Drapery & design!
