JENNIFER DAVIDSON’S MANY CAREER HATS

previously worn as a graphic designer for Kinko's, a popular underground dance music promoter with over 500 events and a dozen artists on her own label, and later, a corporate administration manager overseeing the entire country for Manpower UK.

While living in England, Jen pursued a life’s dream of renovating and decorating a residential property. She developed relationships with vendors and estate agents and taught herself repair and restoration skills, managing a team of laborers to completely renovate an unloved apartment into a beautiful home. Family circumstances meant she did not reside there long, however.

Returning to the USA sparked a business change also: Jen enrolled full-time in the Academy of Art University to pursue a career in interior design. While in her sophomore year, she passed the LEED exam (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to become a LEED Accredited Professional.

Graduating with her Master’s degree in Interior Architecture and Design, she followed a fellow student in joining ASID, the American Society of Interior Designers, and discovered they needed help with their social media. Though she had some experience, she was not then an expert. Jen started learning everything she could about social media to turn the chapter's dormant online presence into a hive of design excitement in the 21st century.

Jen was recognized for her work as ASID Social Media Chair by Randy Fiser, Executive Vice President & CEO of ASID National, in part for founding a members-only LinkedIn discussion group, her innovative Twitter craft, as well as a popular weekly Facebook feature: Member & Industry Partner News.

Jen currently maintains consulting days, when she meets with interior designers and other industry professionals to help them achieve social media and online success.
