Profile
Design that begins with listening.
Every project starts with understanding how you live, what matters to you and what you want your home to become.
Jenny’s role is to bring clarity to that process, to recognise what isn’t working, introduce ideas you may not have considered and shape a design direction that feels both personal and practical.
With more than 20 years across residential interiors and construction, her approach combines creative intuition with a clear understanding of how a home needs to function, feel and come together in the real world.
Founder & Principal Designer
Jenny Matek
For Jenny, great design has never been about imposing a particular aesthetic. It is about understanding people, how they live, what matters to them and how their home should feel.
With more than 20 years working across residential interiors and construction, Jenny brings both creative intuition and practical understanding to each project.
Her construction experience allows her to see beyond the surface of a design, anticipating how details will be resolved, how spaces will function and how the overall vision can be carried through from concept to completion.
Clients often come to Studio Jenka feeling overwhelmed by the number of decisions involved in renovating. Jenny’s role is to simplify those decisions, introduce possibilities they may not have considered and create a clear direction for the home.

Our Services
Our interiors begin with understanding how you live, what you’re drawn to and how you want your home to feel.
From joinery and material selections to lighting and the smallest details, each element is thoughtfully considered to create a home that feels layered, personal and entirely your own.
Our role includes:
- Spatial planning
- Bathroom, kitchen and other bespoke joinery design and detailed designed internal elevations
- Material and finish selections
- Lighting and electrical specifications
- Fixtures, fittings and detailing
- Technical drawings
The result is a home that feels considered rather than styled, designed to be lived in, loved and uniquely yours.
A strong design is only successful if it is carried through properly.
We remain involved beyond the design stage to protect the integrity of the concept, coordinate decisions and help ensure the details developed during design are understood and carried through on site.
Our role includes:
- Builder tendering and selection
- Coordination with consultants and trades
- Review of drawings
- On-site communication
- Supplier and trade coordination
- Providing a clear point of connection between you, your builder and trades
The result is a more considered, coordinated process, with one design vision carried from the first conversation through to completion.
We thoughtfully curate furniture, art and objects to bring the final layers of your home together.
Pieces are sourced from trusted makers and suppliers, both locally and abroad, with custom designs created where something more personal is called for. Each selection is considered in relation to the space, balancing form, comfort and character.
Our role includes:
- Furniture, art and object sourcing
- Custom furniture design
- Showroom visits and product sampling
- Itemised selections and specifications
- Furniture layouts and procurement
The result is a home that feels collected over time, layered, personal and entirely your own.
