Our Team
Jennifer Barron
Founder
A native Texan, Jennifer was born and raised in Dallas. She attended Vanderbilt University to pursue a degree in Human and Organizational Development and a minor in Art History. Following graduation, Jennifer returned to her hometown with Teach for America, after which she decided to pursue her love for design. To begin her career, she attended the Art Institute of Chicago, transferring to the Art Institute of Houston where she received her degree in Interior Design. While a student, she earned real-time experience working part time for a designer, and was eventually brought on full-time as a Project Designer upon graduating.
In September of 2015, Jennifer launched Jennifer Barron Interiors. As a professional Interior Designer, Jennifer believes in the philosophy that her clients should be so in love with their home, they are excited every time they walk in their front door. Her mission is to make her clients' visions reality and believes that in each space, there should be something meaningful to them. Jennifer uses color and pattern to bring rooms to life, often turning to her favorite medium: wallpaper! Jennifer’s self-described style incorporates a blend of antiques with more contemporary elements of design. She brings her passion for style and design to each project, motivated by making a change in a place that her clients experience every day – their home.
Jennifer currently resides in Houston with her husband (John), kids (Gaines, Sally and Parks). She enjoys traveling, especially with family and friends to Park City, Utah, where she loves to ski. When she’s not designing, Jennifer can be found jogging with Gaines and Sally, taking a long bath, or indulging in her guilty pleasure (sour candy).

Mallory Fernandez
Project Designer
A native Houstonian, Mallory recalls an early attraction to all things beautiful as a child. With a desire to see and know more about people, she earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Medicine, Health and Society, and later, a Master’s of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University. After 5 years of working in the medical industry, Mallory chose to pursue her innate passion for interior design and joined Jennifer’s firm in September 2017.
Mallory is committed to creating authentic spaces that truly reflect the individual, often drawing upon texture and tone-on-tone palettes to characterize her environment. She too draws inspiration from her travels abroad that have lent her unforgettable glimpses of historical, globally relevant design.
When Mallory is not in the studio, you’ll find her walking her lab mix, Georgia, and spending time with her husband and son.
Emily Daigle
Project Designer
Emily was born and raised right outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, where her creative passions began at a very young age. She pursued this love for art and design with a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Louisiana State University, CIDA-accredited. With over four years of residential design experience, Emily has acquired the art of attention to detail, project management skills, Autocad knowledge, and an understanding of the design process as a whole. Emily believes that all great projects start with listening to the client’s lifestyle needs and dreams for their space. She then works to bring the client’s dream to life in a fresh way— creating a space that is updated, yet classic in style. Outside of work, Emily enjoys trying new recipes, traveling to new places, and spending quality time with her friends and family.
Olivia Parker
Project Designer
Olivia grew up in Alabama and found her way to Houston after earning her bachelor's degree in engineering at Auburn University. She spent the first 6 years of her career working in technical consulting before deciding to follow her passion for design. Olivia returned to school, completing interior design coursework at The Art Institute of Houston and Houston Community College. Prior to joining Jennifer Barron Interiors, Olivia worked on a team for RH Interior Design where she contributed to projects worldwide.
Her love for creating beautiful, functional spaces is inspired by the people who call these places home. Olivia appreciates that a well-designed room requires equal parts artistry and execution and believes that no space is complete without a dose of patina.
Outside of work, Olivia enjoys taking advantage of Houston’s vibrant restaurant scene and exploring her neighborhood in The Heights with her husband and daughter.
