– Jen : Man oh man! What a journey! You are one insanely talented woman! I knew years and years ago that it was going to be my goal to work with you one day. It’s kind of surreal that that actually happened and I now have a Jen Olmstead masterpiece of my own! Your eye, patience, positivity and vision are exactly what I needed. I had no idea just how much I needed help with this stuff until we started getting into the nitty gritty of the design. You amaze me with your ideas and ability to work your magic to fix ANY issue. I’m seriously SO in love with everything and I have you to thank!!! You are my dream designer and you went above and beyond what I could have even hoped for! Michael and I are SO thankful for your time, our design overnight and your commitment to making this PERFECT!
