Originally from Louisiana, Jenna transferred to Columbia College Chicago where she completed her degree with a BFA in interior architecture. She remained in Chicago as she began her career designing for the healthcare industry. Growing up in a family of restaurant owners, Jenna quickly realized her passion for hospitality. Following that passion, she joined a firm specializing in the hospitality industry and gained experience in restaurant design. Like many, Jenna found herself relocating from the city-life, back home to Louisiana once the pandemic hit. She continues her passion for design in the hospitality industry and enjoys the integrated architectural, interior design, and planning teams at Manning.
