Jennifer Hofmann, Instructor

For years, Jennifer Hofmann has been the person her friends call to help choose paint colors and get advice on rearranging their furniture.   This free public service turned into a business when she started Simplicity Staging and Redesign.   Jennifer believes that a well-designed home is one where there is space for loved ones to connect meaningfully and retreat from the hustle of the world.  Her goal is to create designs that work for her clients in every possible way - practically, aesthetically, and comfortably.  She is thrilled to be using her "token" 4-year teaching degree, instructing staging classes in collaboration with Ann Anderson at the School of Interior Redesign.

In her free time, Jennifer likes to hike, bird watch and be an active member of her community.  Simplicity donates time and resources to charities including Habitat for Humanity.  She is The World's Proudest Aunt of two perfect nieces and "mom" to Sassafras, a feline angel from the local Humane Society.
