Hi, I’m JOHN!
Owner & Chief
operating Officer
How the hell did I get here? After graduating from the Ivy College of Business, and working ten collective years at Principal Financial Group and Bâton Global, I’m now nurturing an interior design business and a team of lovely ladies, including my kick-ass-and-kind wife Jessi. It’s awesome, but not perfect. It’s exciting, but takes a lot of work. It’s humbling given my family’s history, but sentimental given my dad passed away just before Jeid Studio took off.

HOW I SPEND MY FREE TIME
I enjoy shooting hoops and playing golf. I watch a lot of basketball and football, with loads of popcorn.
When I find a song I like, it’s on repeat for at least a full day.
I like researching products before purchasing something (particularly technology-related).
YouTube videos about boondocking, bus conversions, and tiny homes are often in my feed.
TWO TRUTHS & A LIE
I prefer music over podcasts.
I prefer rain over sunshine.
I prefer milk over water.
