About Jennifer Howard
Founder & Principal Designer, JWH Design & Cabinetry
Jennifer Howard founded JWH Design & Cabinetry in 1996 in Rye, NY, building her firm on a foundation of marketing expertise, a natural design and architecture talent, and first-hand residential construction experience. From multi-unit condominium developments to multi-million dollar custom homes, her projects span Westchester, Fairfield, the Eastern Seaboard, and even the West Coast—each bearing the mark of JWH’s distinctive space planning and custom cabinetry.
Jennifer’s design sensibility is deeply personal. She and her husband, Rob, have raised their five children—and now one grandson—while moving more than 30 times throughout Westchester and Fairfield counties, designing and renovating each home. These personal experiences give her unique insight into what matters most: efficient layouts, creative solutions, realistic budgeting, and timely execution.
“Cracking the Code” on Design Challenges
Jennifer has earned a reputation for “cracking the code” on complex layout and space challenges. With a sharp analytical eye and a mathematical mindset, she visualizes creative, functional configurations that often go unnoticed by architects, designers, and builders. Whether working from scratch or improving existing architectural plans, Jennifer is relentless in pursuing the most effective layout—the critical first step in every successful renovation.
