Family Run Business

"We can hardly believe how lucky we are to work with Ashley.  My wife met Ashley about 4 years ago when we started planning on opening a new business.  We began bidding on spaces in San Francisco over a year ago.  She patiently worked with us even though we did not take the first 4 shops.  Now the opening date is rapidly approaching and the design is more than what we could ever imagined.  We can hardly believe how effortless she makes it seem while saving us a lot of money.  She is always available for us, and our contractors.  This business is our dream come true!  Thank you, Ashley!!"

Worldly Home Design

"I have been working with Ashley for over 6 months now on an interior redesign of my new home in the peninsula.  If I were to pick a few words to describe her, I would say: "Incredible style, extremely flexible, super reliable, very thorough and very energizing."  When I started my project I was seeking someone who could really design with an East/West eclectic style, Ashley goes above and beyond in her ability to read a client's vision and help guide and shape that into the reality of a beautiful home.  For example, my formal living room has pieces from India, China, East Africa, and San Francisco and it looks seamless.  Early on, I realized that my own neurosis required me to be more hands-on in the "shopping" experience.  Ashley was incredibly flexible and actually helped guide me in way that boosted my own knowledge and expertise in the work we were doing together.  She is a true partner to work with and extremely thoughtful about how to work within a budget.  I would highly recommend her and I continue to enjoy working with her as we tackle different areas of my home.  Thanks, Ashley!!"

Home Design with Custom Furnishings

“I hired Ashley Roi Jenkins Design to design and furnish two of my homes and she also managed a project to build a deck that not only turned out beautifully but added significantly to the value of that home.  Ashley not only decorated and renovated multiple spaces for me but also created custom items at great prices.  Her design work on my first home was so well done that it was featured in a design magazine, which certainly made me proud. Ashley not only creates beautiful spaces and designs stunning pieces (I get compliments on the bar she designed all the time), but she also manages each project to keep the craftsmen “on time” and within budget. Ashley certainly has a gift for design, is easy to work with, and works hard. I specifically like that she worked with my own personal tastes to create a beautiful living environment that I feel comfortable in rather than forcing her tastes on me. I believe that Ashley understands that her role is to enhance her clients personal style rather than change it.  I would highly recommend Ashley’s design firm for any job.”

Kitchen Renovation

“Ashley oversaw the renovation of the kitchen and bath in our Victorian home.  She did a wonderful job of modernizing the space while, at the same time, creating a unifying design throughout the house.  Ashley also helped us redecorate the rest of our home.  She incorporated some pieces that we already owned with new designs, thus providing a fresh new look.  Ashley was able to make each room flow together seamlessly due to her great sense of color and design.  Our home truly reflects our style and we love what Ashley accomplished.  It was a delight to work with her.”

Pilates Studio

“Almost three years ago, I opened my Pilates Studio in my home with the help of Ashley Roi Jenkins Design.  Ashley provided the confidence and the talent to tackle this unique project, which had to combine seamless design and contemporary surroundings in a challenging space.  While I had wanted to “play it safe”, Ashley found that by adding charming wall treatments and the perfect lighting solutions, we could repurpose a room into a fabulous and welcoming workspace.  She held my hand as I took this leap into the unknown.  I’ve never looked back.  She is a great handholder and a professional, talented, and most ingenious designer.  I am ever grateful.  And, so are my happy clients.”

New Apartment

“We worked with Ashley for six months in 2010 when we were furnishing our new apartment.  Our experience with her was fantastic – she gave us lots of creative ideas but always paid careful attention to our style and preferences.  We wanted a mix of timeless, classic pieces with a few more interesting items spread throughout our home - and her ideas fit the bill every time.  She was always available and worked tirelessly to pull together her recommendations in record time.  We were very happy with the experience and would highly recommend her.”

Dallas Interior

“I needed a designer who was able to do something extraordinary.  My first instinct was to hire someone local.  I interviewed a few people but was not impressed with the local talent.  Prior to living in Japan, NYC and Dallas, I had lived in San Francisco for 5 years.  One of my best friends, Shawn O, had spoken highly of a very talented interior designer who lived in the SF bay area and her name was Ashley Roi Jenkins. There were many reviews that backed-up Shawn O’s proclamation which was Decorator Showcase, SF Chronicle and California Home & Design etc.. etc..  During one of my frequent visits, I had interviewed a few bay area designers including ARJD.  She struck me as a designer who could do whatever design the client desired.  I jumped in after doing my homework and decided she was my gal!  She flew into Dallas with her assistant and looked at my very eclectic furniture and came up with 3 design concepts.   I really wanted a space that was soft contemporary Asian eclectic which I thought would be very challenging due to the fact that I didn’t want to let go of some of the prized possessions that I had collected over my years of travel.   This was quite a challenge in my eyes, but ARJ executed my vision and her design concept beautifully and created exactly what I wanted.  Ashley Roi listened to my ideas and created the most amazing space which included my needs, wants and desires. She did this through color and accessories and added some extra pieces that transformed my townhome into a space that looked like a million bucks.  I trusted her completely and she performed.  I couldn’t have asked for a better designer.  WOW!! Thanks to ARJ and her team.  Now I have many client dinners at my space in Uptown Dallas and because of her ( I believe) have increased my business exponentially.  Since then, I have referred to ARJ many more now happy clients in the DFW area.  Thank you! Thank you! AND Thank YOU!!”
