Our Story

Apropos Design is an interior design firm created from a passion, a dream, and an understanding that a house becomes a home when the personality of the owner is reflected in their space. The design and décor should speak to the characteristics that describe the feeling and atmosphere the residents want to live in and welcome others into. From traditional to modern, industrial to farmhouse, or any mix of multiple styles, our goal is to create a design that complements your lifestyle.

Jennifer first joined Apropos Design as an intern and quickly proved to be a delightful and valuable addition. She is enthusiastic about helping clients meet their design goals and a great fit for our team...just ask our clients! She has an eclectic knowledge of styles and focuses on creating the most functional space while incorporating thoughtful aesthetics unique to each client. Developing strong relationships is the foundation of Jennifer’s approach, both professionally and personally. Jennifer has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Nebraska Omaha, in addition to an associate’s degree in interior design from Metropolitan Community College. She graduated with high honors and was the Vice President of the local student ASID chapter. Jennifer is Allied ASID and continually strives to gain knowledge and experience in the design industry. When Jennifer isn’t drafting up renders for our clients, she likes to spend time with her two mini–Australian Shepherds, Olivia and Pepper, and her husband, JJ. Jennifer is a travel enthusiast and enjoys any place with beautiful views and incredible food. If she isn't traveling, she can often be found out on the volleyball court for some fun competition, but equally enjoys sitting on the couch and binge-watching the latest Netflix series.
