Meet Jennifer DeCleene.

After a decade spent working as a magazine editor, including stints at O, The Oprah Magazine, Cottage Living, Southern Living, and most recently as the Home & Style Director at HGTV Magazine, Jennifer leveraged her editorial experience into an independent creative venture. She styles photo shoots for a wide range of brands – both editorial and commercial – and produces written content for design-focused clients. As a decorator for discerning homeowners, Jennifer is known for her friendly, detail-oriented approach, and her dedication to crafting spaces uniquely suited to each client’s needs and tastes.

Jennifer grew up in Texas, studied English literature at New York University, and has since moved around a few times (East Coast, the South, and now, the Midwest).

She lives in a suburb of Chicago with her husband and their two young sons.

DeCleene Creative believes authenticity is beautiful, pretension is off-putting, deadlines are important, and collaboration is valuable.
