I’ve always been drawn to the way spaces feel. Since I was twelve, I’ve been sketching floor plans on graph paper. Studying how rooms connect and how small layout shifts can change the entire experience of a home.

After earning my degree in Interior Design from Middle Tennessee State University, I began my career at a residential design firm focusing on architectural work. When the economy shifted in 2008, I joined Huskey Truss & Building Supply, where I gained a deep understanding of construction analyzing plans for structural integrity, calculating material take-offs, and designing truss systems.

That technical foundation became one of my greatest strengths. It taught me how to balance creativity with construction reality.

I founded J Taylor Designs, in 2009, to bridge those worlds: design and structure, creativity and craft. Since then, I’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners and builders who share a commitment to thoughtful design, collaboration, and quality.

Designing a home is deeply personal for me. I want every client to feel seen, their goals honored, their budget respected, and their process smooth from first sketch to final build. I’m always learning, adapting, and refining, because the best homes evolve just like the people who live in them.
