I’m Janelle, the designer behind J9 Design & Drafting. I love creating spaces that feel considered, work beautifully and, most importantly, feel right for the people who call them home.

With a background in building design, drafting, Interior, Furniture and Cabinetry Design, I bring both creativity and practical thinking to every project. I take the time to listen, understand how you live and what you’re hoping to achieve, then work with you to turn those ideas into a design that feels uniquely yours.

From renovations and extensions to new homes, rural projects and outdoor spaces, I’m here to make the design process clear, collaborative and enjoyable.

Your ideas. Your space. Let’s bring it to life.
