Meet SJ Jacobs the founder of Arden Hill Design

Blessed with the talent to turn imagination into reality, my journey has been enriched by diverse experiences. Surrounded by artists, builders, craftsmen, and horticulturists during my formative years, I acquired a range of hands-on skills and honed the art of communication. Acting as a liaison among different parties became second nature, fostering understanding and collaboration.

In the early stages of my career in retail display and styling, I had the honor of crafting captivating visuals for esteemed brands such as Ralph Lauren, Macy’s, and Southern Living.

Transitioning from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, I founded and managed a retail shop that flourished not only as a comprehensive florist, but also as a design center offering distinctive selections of home goods while providing a platform for both local and international artists to showcase their talents.

Since settling in the NC Triangle, my primary focus has been on assisting homeowners and small businesses in creating spaces that seamlessly blend comfort and inspiration.

Nature serves as my muse, grounding me in its beauty and teaching the essence of co-creation. I firmly believe in the power of attentive listening, keen observation, and transparent communication to nurture genuine collaboration. This journey has intertwined my passion for creation with a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things.

At Arden Hill Design, we believe that great design should be accessible to everyone. We strive to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, affordable and comfortable.
