Jennifer Ransom
Owner , Principal + Chief Designer
Jennifer Ransom is someone who has always had a plan for everything. And a backup plan. And a backup to the backup. More than a saying, her life’s motto is ”A place for everything and everything in its place.”
Jennifer is the principal of JR Design + Consulting specializing in form and function in interior design, and the proud owner of The Tailored Closet & PremierGarage of Central Austin, two home design services companies delivering whole home storage solutions to change your whole life. While it may seem like she just builds cabinets and sorts stuff, what Jennifer really does is solve problems with both style and substance, bringing calm to chaos, and giving back your time, space, and sanity with beautiful but purposeful spaces in your home and workplace. She believes your space should work for you, empowering you to live into the best version of yourself.
As a certified interior designer, Jennifer approaches a project from a wholistic design perspective so that your spaces don’t just work for you, they look fabulous while doing so. Before launching The Tailored Closet, she enjoyed a career in strategic planning and branding consulting for nonprofits across the state, and 12 years in state government and politics. She’s had a lifelong passion for design and organization and believes in being surrounded by things that bring you joy – both materially and experientially. She delights in helping her clients create a sense of place in their homes.
