Jenelle Lovings has art and design coursing through her veins.  Her mother would paint in her spare time, and her father was a graphic artist who owned a printing company in St. Louis, Missouri.  With the talents she inherited from her parents, it was inevitable that Jenelle would seek a creative career.

  At a very early age, Jenelle began to develop her love for fashion and design.  Spending many hours in her father's print shop, she would construct houses and televisions out of cardboard boxes, design fashions, and other countless creative works. These childhood pastimes evolved into a passion, which led to her pursuit of a bachelor's degree in Interior Design and a Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. With over ten years of experience in high-end residential and commercial interiors, developing designs for multiple award-winning projects, she created Jenelle Lovings Design Studio. 

With Jenelle Lovings Design Studio, Jenelle combines her love of fashion and interior design, developing spaces that imbue luxury and quality that are accessible.  Jenelle believes that luxury should not be limited but embraced by everyone. This sentiment echoes through A Black Girl in West Elm, an Instagram account that celebrates her love of the aforementioned store.  Her IG account's notoriety has segued into a blog, features in AZ Central and Apartment Therapy.

Jenelle's style invokes classical roots, blended with contemporary and global elements, which create timeless designs that are chic but approachable.
