What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We are giving them something that they cannot see. I always had an eye for things, beautiful things, home, architecture. I always could see the potential in something. I didn't have the experience that most adolescent girls had. I was kind of bullied and, you know, I was always insecure with my appearance. So I feel like I always sought after things that I could change and wanting to really just turn something into something bigger, something beautiful.
Jennifer Lynn Myers is a sophisticated, intentional, and detail-oriented interior designer and the founder of Rittenhouse Home. Combining her keen eye for aesthetics with comprehensive design-build expertise, she helps homeowners seamlessly navigate full-scale renovations to transform their spaces into personalized sanctuaries, cultivating a lasting standard of elevated comfort, timeless beauty, and everyday well-being.
I think that the most important thing that I've learned in my journey of entrepreneurship is really who you surround yourself with is so important to your own personal growth. And on the flip side, it can be detrimental to your personal growth. So I think that's really important. I think it's also really important to have a vision and your business model and to be true to that, because there are a few times in my career where I deviated from that business model and it never went in a good direction.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Jordan. Jordan. Chicago was the lead. You can live your dream.
Welcome back to another episode of the Women in Power podcast. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is the founder of Ridden House Homes, Jennifer Myers. How are you?
I'm good, Ray. How are you?
Fantastic. So what is Ridden House Home?
So Ridden House Home is your umbrella that incorporates everything from interior design to the actual build process. So it's from conception to completion. And we just curate really beautiful spaces for, you know, families and their fondest memories in their own home.
I'm glad you said the word beautiful again, because I guess beauty is subjective. What is a beautiful space to you? Like when you walk into a place that you've touched and you've blessed, what does it look like?
I think my personal style is somewhere between what's on trend and what is not. kind of old world and mixing the new and the now with the old, with the new. And really, I think each one of my projects probably has a special touch to it because it's really about how my clients dwell and how their family functions, whether they're empty nesters, whether they're a family, big family, small family. So, but I think the main theme is just like beautiful elegance that's comforting and that kind of takes you in.
Right on. I'm assuming it's not just going to Holden Depot and picking colors off a wall. There's a, there's a, like an onboarding, maybe almost spiritual process. Like how do clients speak to you? How do you speak to your clients?
So I think that when I'm taking on a project, I'm probably interviewing them as much as they're interviewing me, because I think that creative chemistry is really important to have with your design team. Um, And so I'll ask them questions of, you know, expectations, obviously budget comes into play, but you know, their expectations and what they're looking to do and how they dwell, how they function and kind of the project scope. Um, you know, I asked them what color palettes they like, whether they want minimalist, minimalist, or they want, you know, tchotchkes everywhere. Um, that's kind of not my cup of tea, but, um, yeah. So I'm, I just really, I really need to like know about my client and their family.
Cause it's such a personal experience. So it's like a marriage and we're planning a wedding. So we're going to be in it for the long haul together.
