Meet Our Design Team

Jackie Schwartz

Jackie helps people create personal style in their homes, offices and vacation homes in Michigan as well as Arizona and Florida. She has more than 25 years of experience and is guided by a natural way with interior design and people.

Jackie’s client FOX 2 anchor Monica Gayle spoke to The Detroit News – in the June 30, 2007 Homestyle magazine about her experience at Home Interior Warehouse:

"She (Jackie) and I immediately hit it off. She helps me select furniture, accessories and floral arrangements. The great thing about her is that she works with what you already own, filling in the gaps with special pieces, artwork, rugs, pillows, lamps and candlesticks. Our friendship just blossomed from there."

The 17,000 square foot store boasts nearly 20 vignettes filled with all styles of furniture and accessories that masterfully coordinate with each room group. One constant through the years, Jackie has kept her silk floral studio an integral part of her business, and the company custom designs magnificent floral arrangements that accompany many furniture orders.

Jackie is co-chair of Project Fresh Start, the renovation of YWCA - Interim House domestic violence shelter in Detroit and is an active fund raiser for The American Heart Association and Operation Smile. She also is on the planning team for the grand opening events of Providence Park hospital in Novi.
