About JM Design Studio

JM Design Studio is a residential design firm focused on creating homes that feel thoughtful, functional, and tailored to the people who live in them.

Jennifer Minor brings experience in both residential design and design-build environments, taking a practical, detail-oriented approach to every project.

From renovations and additions to new homes, each project is approached with an understanding that every home—and family—lives differently. Our goal is to make sure each home is designed around how your family lives day to day.

The process is collaborative and straightforward, guiding homeowners from initial ideas through construction with clarity and intention. The goal is always the same: to create homes that feel cohesive, comfortable, and designed for real life.

Our Process

  • Two people sitting at a beige table, one using a laptop and the other taking notes, with a glass of water, a vase with two calla lilies, and a small white vase on the table.

    01. Initial Consultation

    We start with a conversation to understand your home, your goals, and how you want to live in your home.

  • An open notebook with blank pages resting on a wooden surface, a sharpened pencil lying diagonally across the pages.

    02. Schematic Design

    We explore layout options and develop initial Floor Plans and Elevations, shaping how your home will function, flow, and feel.

  • Close-up of a handshake between two people, one wearing a striped long-sleeve shirt and black pants, the other in a white T-shirt and light-colored pants.

    03. Design Development

    We refine and develop detailed Plans, along with 3D visuals that help you clearly experience your home before it’s built.

  • Tools and supplies on a sawmill workbench, including a yellow and blue cylindrical roller and various woodworking clamps, seen through a blurred foreground of yellow workpieces.

    04. Construction Documentation

    We prepare permit-ready Construction Plans and coordinate with Engineers—so your project is fully prepared for construction.
