<strong>Meredith</strong> Jones Martin<br />
Designer & Design Firm Owner<br />
From the moment <strong>Meredith</strong><br />
Jones Martin, owner of<br />
Martin Design Agency,<br />
walks into the room it‘s<br />
clear that she has an<br />
undeniable sense of style<br />
that seems also effortless.<br />
Fortunately, both her day<br />
job and true passion<br />
requires a very clear eye for<br />
design. That eye for design<br />
has been something<br />
<strong>Meredith</strong> has perfected her<br />
entire life…<br />
While the majority of<br />
<strong>Meredith</strong>‘s peers in<br />
elementary school wanted<br />
to be astronauts,<br />
veterinarians, or<br />
superheroes when they<br />
grew up, <strong>Meredith</strong> knew<br />
from the fifth grade on that<br />
she wanted to be a<br />
residential interior designer.<br />
Throughout her school<br />
years, that dream never<br />
changed for <strong>Meredith</strong>. As a<br />
student at <strong>Meredith</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, she pursued a<br />
degree in Interior Design<br />
and came out with a job in<br />
model design. Her job<br />
designing models allowed<br />
<strong>Meredith</strong> to master a<br />
variety of design concepts.<br />
After experiencing a<br />
layoff as a result of the<br />
economy, <strong>Meredith</strong><br />
decided that now was as<br />
good a time as ever to<br />
pursue her dream of<br />
residential interior<br />
design in a new<br />
venture- as the owner<br />
of her own design firm.<br />
Martin Design Firm, a<br />
collaborative force<br />
between <strong>Meredith</strong> and<br />
her graphic designer<br />
husband, offers<br />
personalized design<br />
services for interiors<br />
and weddings.<br />
According to their<br />
website, Martin Design<br />
Agency ―will put it all<br />
together for you... with<br />
a wide range of services,<br />
from interior designs,<br />
home staging and<br />
product sourcing to<br />
wedding invitations and<br />
color selection.‖<br />
Clearly <strong>Meredith</strong> has<br />
not only accomplished<br />
her dreams of design,<br />
she‘s taken them one<br />
step further.
