3 frogs design principal interior designer, Jenny Nakao Hones, was born in Honolulu and raised in Tokyo, where she developed her love and appreciation of Asian design.

Having her own family, she brings both a practical and timeless approach to her clean yet warm designs. Upon returning to the U.S. in 2001, Jenny obtained her interior design degree and also became a certified feng shui consultant.

“Ever since I was young, I would get a ‘feeling’ upon entering a space. It could be any type of feeling from being energized to feeling uncomfortable and have always wondered ‘Why do I feel this way in this space?’ I have always been intrigued by the psychology behind interior design. Using the basic design principles of scale, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis and harmony, plus color and lighting, one can create a specific feeling for a space. However, the ‘whys’ still kept popping up in my mind. In the last few years, I have embraced the ancient Chinese study of living in harmony with nature, known as Feng Shui. This has given me many answers to my intuition and has brought a new dimension and energy to the spaces. Now, with a simple, common sense approach of feng shui and the principles of design, I am happy to find answers to my questions and I am looking forward to helping find the answers for your special space.”
