JS Dwellings is an Austin-based full-service interior design firm founded in 2019. Principal designers, Jackie Streusand and Heather Herndon, work together to provide a personalized project experience. Their unique partnership, rooted in both collaboration and friendship, continues to bring their clients' design dreams to life.
Jackie Streusand
Principal Designer
Jackie has been working as a designer in Austin since 2016 where she has had the pleasure of working for one of the top firms in the city. Jackie has worked on a variety of projects ranging from Sleek & Modern to Transitional, Texas Rustic to Vintage Eclectic. She specializes in designing beautiful dwellings using color, texture, and a dash of vintage flair.
In her free time Jackie enjoys digging up projects around the house, wood working, and most importantly, hanging with her husband, their two kiddos and their pup.
Heather Herndon
Principal Designer
Heather’s passion for design is rooted in connecting with clients, helping them hone in on their taste and style and developing a design direction that feels like a true representation of them. With a Bachelors of Science in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters of Art in Interior Architecture, she brings a unique perspective to balance, scale, color and texture. From Traditional Boston Brownstones to quaint Austin Bungalows, Heather has worked for a handful of published design firms since 2013. Joining Jackie, her friend and former colleague, has been one of the most rewarding opportunities--one where collaboration can flourish. In her free time, you can find her tending to her plant collection, traveling, and practicing pilates.
Kait Johnston
Stylist
Kait has always had a flair for design and putting a heartfelt touch on a home is her specialty. With years of experience in both fashion and graphic design, her eye is trained in aesthetics. Teaming up with JS Dwellings has been the perfect complement of abilities to leave our clients with spaces that feel both curated and elevated. Kait manages her own client portfolio in addition to assisting with styling across the firm. Her ideal free afternoon includes scouring estate sales for hidden gems with a good audiobook buzzing in her ears. Most near and dear to her is her lively homelife filled with the likings of two toddlers and her loving husband, Drew.
