Behind the Design

Philosophy

Carr Brown Designs specializes in creating balanced spaces, infusing a client’s unique vision with contemporary versatility.

Thoughtful designs seamlessly blend form and function, enlisting astute attention to detail to achieve beautiful results. Whether it be a refresh or a blank slate, communal spaces or private quarters, kitchens or bathrooms, a holistic lens is used.

The allure of a home should embody a client’s personal style, where each element is part of their story.

Meet Jen Brown

For Jen, the thrill of interior design is found in the creativity, collaboration, and execution of a project. No two clients are alike, and she finds that individuality inspiring. The ability to connect with them, ascertain their style profile, and then see extensive planning come to life requires a diverse approach and an innate sense of style. 

In her previous career, Jen managed professional athletes as a sports agent for over a decade at an international powerhouse agency. High standards of client servicing, communication, project management, organization, problem solving, critical thinking, and attention to detail were all essential. 

With this experience, the challenges of executing multi-dimensional interior design schemes is second nature. To guide projects from inception to completion is a delicate process. It has been exciting to see her worlds collide and parallels emerge in the realm of interior design, with artistry and style now at the forefront.  

Jen graduated from Stanford University, and has certificates from the New York School of Interior Design.

What Clients Say

  • Jen took our wild ideas and magically translated them into gorgeous spaces. She fully embraced our adventurous aesthetic, leaning into the design with elements we never would have considered if not for her creativity and resourcefulness. What impressed me the most was her ability to design our interiors without having initial physical access to the space – a challenge she handled with remarkable skill and confidence. Despite working around an unpredictable renovation timeline, she never lost sight of the overall design concept and kept every aspect of the project on track.

  • Working with Jen Brown has been an amazing experience!  She is passionate about design and is open to a truly collaborative design process.   She was extremely thoughtful about every one of my projects.  I am so pleased with her aesthetic and the results of our mutual input into the finished result.  I cannot say enough about her attention to detail and her willingness to advocate for her client.  I promise you that she will not settle for a cookie cutter approach to your project and will use her creativity and ingenuity to assure that the finished result of your next design endeavor meets and even surpasses your expectations. 

  • Jen’s talent shines through not just in her design choices, but in her exceptional project management skills. She anticipated potential issues before they arose and adapted her plans seamlessly as the renovation progressed. Jen’s attention to detail and thoughtful approach turned what could have been an overwhelming process into an end result that speaks volumes about her expertise and her ability to bring a vision to life.

  • I initially asked Jen for advice on reupholstering our dining room chairs.  We ended up transforming our whole first floor.  She got our “vibe,” sourced furniture that’s beautiful as well as comfortable, and introduced pieces of art that work that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own.  Our living room has become more than a place to gather—it’s our oasis.  I only wish we had done this sooner!

  • Working with Jen Brown was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. My husband and I have very different design preferences, and she managed to navigate both of our styles with incredible grace, creativity, and skill. We live in a character-filled 1898 home, and she found a way to honor its charm while introducing a more modern aesthetic and fresh color palette. She encouraged us to push our limits, but never beyond our comfort zone. The end result is a space that feels uniquely us — comfortable, timeless, functional, and beautiful. We’re beyond thrilled with the transformation and so grateful for her guidance.
