Before JAK was established, I was a part of the vision. Throughout the process, I have been able to work in every position of the company including moulding operator, delivery, sales, and now management. I’ve enjoyed watching the company grow over the years by observing each customer’s desires surpassed on every job we complete. Outside of JAK, I am happily married with two children, I love American Ninja Warrior, and I am privileged to serve at New Direction Church in Snow Hill. We would thoroughly enjoy working with you on your next project or new construction house!

Throughout the years I have worked with many contractors to provide exceptional service to them and their clients. I am passionate about the products and services that we offer and view each new job as an opportunity to provide quality materials from an industry leading company with outstanding service. Outside of JAK, I am extensively involved in serving as past President of the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, Past President of the Greene County Community Foundation, past member of the Board of Directors for the Eastern North Carolina Workforce Development, Town Commissioner of Walstonburg, Commander of American Legion Post 332, Chair person for Proud To Be An American Day, and Veteran Service Officer for Greene County. I look forward to working with you on your next home or remodel project!

I am an avid outdoorsman that loves to fish and spend time on the golf course. I have a wife and together we have two beautiful kids a girl and a boy. In July of 2017, I joined the JAK team as the inventory manager. I knew eventually I wanted to be a part of the sales team and when an opportunity was presented, I didn’t look back. I love being on different job sites daily and seeing the progress and design ideas from each contractor and homeowner, while providing my professional advice as well. I look forward to working with you on your upcoming projects!

Originally from Elmira, NY, I received a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design from East Carolina University in 2013. Upon completion, I moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where I met my loving husband, Quinton Hellyer. During my professional career, I have worked in the interior design industry by designing interior beach houses to designing and remodeling kitchens and bathroom projects. I joined the JAK team in 2015 as the Kitchen and Bath Designer. Working with each homeowner and contractor to develop the best design and selection for the budget is what I enjoy most. No matter the size of your upcoming project, I would be glad to work with you on your design and selections!

I graduated from NC State College of Textiles with my degree in Business and Brand Management. While living in Raleigh, I spent many years designing homes and interiors. From forming house plans to hand selecting fabrics and wallpapers, I was able to see the job from start to finish. Since then, I moved to Trenton to be closer to family and the coast. As of September 2021, I am excited to announce JAK has expanded and opened a showroom in New Bern-JAK Kitchen & Bath. This new location offers a wide variety of cabinet lines, countertops, and hardware displays to accommodate every need. More importantly, it offers a larger, more remote workspace for clients near New Bern and surrounding eastern NC counties. Being a local to the area, these towns are very near and dear to my heart, and I am looking forward to executing every project with passion and diligence.

My interest in home design began at an early age, working with my father, a custom home builder. I grew up with sets of house plans covering half the dining room table! After studying at the Massachusetts College of Art, I began my career in interior design through high end furniture stores. In 2013 our family moved to North Carolina where I continued in that field as a merchandiser and buyer. When the opportunity presented itself, I ventured into the world of kitchen and bath design. Having built four houses in the past decade, I’m well aware of the stress involved so I strive to make the cabinet design and selection aspect of my client’s projects an enjoyable experience. My spare time is spent with my family, Jack Russell Terriers, and miniature horses.

What do you desire when it comes to home design? What’s your style, your vibe? What makes your heart pitter patter when you see something in a magazine or on Pinterest? That’s my favorite place to step in! Good design is more than just looking good, it’s about how form meets function. Creating, designing, and mixing patterns and colors has always come naturally to me, and my passion is to help others find the perfect mix that suits their lifestyle. With years of experience of decorating, staging, and designing for others in their homes, I have recently joined the JAK family to create kitchen and bath designs. When not working on design projects, I can often be found with my husband and three children either at the beach or the lake. I enjoy working out, wakeboarding, skiing, and hunting for great decor. At the end of my projects, my ultimate goal is to be jealous of your space. I would love to help you make your dreams my newest green-with-envy kitchen or bath!  

I am a Greenville, NC native and a graduate of East Carolina University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Interior Design with a minor in Business Administration. I joined the JAK team in May 2023 as a design intern and have since been promoted to Design Assistant, collaborating closely with Kari at our Greenville location. My role at JAK allows me to fulfill my passion for helping clients transform their dream kitchens and baths into reality. In my free time, I love spending time with my fiancé, family and friends.
