Jaimi Sharkey, Senior Designer

Jaimi Sharkey has had a passion for Interior Design for as long as she can remember.  During her 10 year career in digital marketing, each friend and neighbor who called upon her for design advice led her to eventually trade in her data crunching spreadsheets for something more creative and close to heart and take the plunge into a full time career in design. 

Since that leap several years ago, Jaimi has worked with a broad range of clients in the Atlanta design scene from builders to homeowners to small business owners, helping them navigate each part of the design process from concept to installation.  She has an eye for smart design that is timeless yet on trend and most importantly, fitting to her client's needs.
