About Me

JKLM Studio is a husband and wife team - I'm an interior designer, and my husband James Martin is an architect. Our love of good-looking things that have a real purpose led us to our first designs. JKLM Studio strives to create based on the principles learned in design education - that there must be an idea behind what you do, simple ornamentation is never the answer, and it doesn’t matter how good it looks if it doesn’t function.
