BOLD Summit Attendee, Corey Damen Jenkins

Nationally acclaimed interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins demonstrates a knack for seeing beyond the obvious, taking what his clients tell him to another level that exceeds their wildest dreams. One peek through his impressive portfolio shows that Corey is a true visionary. While his creative instincts are undeniable, he brings a great deal more to the table with his professionalism, sunny disposition and genuine enthusiasm for every endeavor.

His style has been described as a fresh, continental mix of elegance and modernity, while his vision is fueled by his clients. Looking at their dreams and aspirations as if they’re bricks stacked on a palette, Corey sees himself as the “mortar” needed to build those bricks into something tangible. As he explains, when you step back from a real brick building, you don’t really see the mortar; the bricks are what stand out. The same can be said when you step back and look at his work. He wants you to see his clients’ personalities.
