grew up in a small northeastern Brazilian town, where she started rearranging furniture in her parent’s home at the young age of 13.  She began helping her mom choose furniture, coordinate rugs, pillows, and art. With no interior design program in her hometown, she followed her passion for numbers and problem-solving.  Jackie earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics then began working for the Bank of Brazil.  In 2000 she moved to Chicago, Illinois where she obtained an Associate Degree in Interior Design and began working for a boutique design firm.

Relocating to southwest Florida in 2015, Jackie has had the opportunity to work with top designers in the area on both commercial and residential projects. Barefoot Beach, Kalea Bay, Port Royal, Quail West, Twin Eagles, as well as a private home in Sanibel Island, are some of the many prestigious communities Jackie has assisted in designing.

Bringing a client’s unique ideas to life is the most rewarding aspect of Jackie’s career.  She considers the design process a collaborative relationship between the client and the design team with the completed space becoming an expression of their vision. Her background provides the opportunity for her designs to merge the left brain’s proficiencies in math and logic with the right brain’s aptitude for creativity and innovations.  She truly loves styling and accessorizing her client’s homes to perfect the finished look.

Joining Tina Marie Interiors, she continues to incorporate her passion for high-end design with her flair for the unique.
