About Me

My name is Jennifer H Perez. I attended the University of North Florida, majoring in Communications before obtaining my Interior Design degree at Florida Community College of Jacksonville.

I spent my first few years as a designer working for Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Inc. where I was able to fully incompass the meaning of being a designer. I specified clients homes from the ground up including all of their hard and soft finishes.

In January of 2008, I moved my practice over to R. Ward Lariscy, Inc where I am currently practicing residential design.

I am an active member of ASID, through which I have helped plan the annual Student day event that took place at DCOTA in Dania, Fl and am currently heading up the board for the Step Workshop, which helps prepare designer for their state licensing exam.

I also currently hold a seat on the Interior Design Advisory Board for FSCJ and The Art Institute of Jacksonville.

A Model in Horse Country

This is a model that my partner and I designed while at a previous firm, for a beautiful golf course community just outside of Ocala, Fl,.

Because the area is a great spot for retirement age, I decided that the design should lean more toward that focus group. But, in keeping with the times, I added a couple of contemporary elements to give it a more updated look. For instance the chairs at the table and the dishes lend itself more toward a modern look while the rest of the furniture is of a traditional design.

The living room features a tufted sofa with an elegant cut velvet damask.


The relief room above the sofa was custom framed with a hand painted matte to work with the color scheme of cool blues and greens.


Moving in to the kitchen, I added a rich amber color to the pallet. My inspiration was a tile detail that is found along the back wall and tracing the island. I also deepened the soft blue by transitioning it into a nice shade of aqua.
This model sold immediately and is no longer available for viewing.
