Jet Black is a collaborative interior design studio based in Los Angeles. Our team draws on a wide range of backgrounds integrating art, architecture, interior, graphic and industrial design. Our projects are recognized by our signature aesthetic: attacking space with materiality, color and form.

In every project we seek to uncover a client's personal symbolism and work together to turn that story into a tangible reality.

  • We celebrate each project's history, architecture, and cultural narrative.

  • We believe design should be thoughtfully frenetic.

  • We relish in the absurd, irreverent, and irrational.

  • We utilize design as a form of rebellion against prescriptive society.

Jill is a multi-disciplined interior designer with 20 years of experience designing restaurants, retail spaces, and luxury residential projects throughout the country. After working with with high profile architecture and interior firms, Vantage Design Group, Studio Jackson, Kovac Design Studio & DEX Studio, she established her own practice. She has been a LEED Accredited Professional since 2006 and a CCIDC Certified Interior Designer since 2011.

Jill was born in Southeast LA, and raised in the strip malls and track housing of the Inland Empire. In an area devoid of high design, she learned to see and create beauty in everyday things. Prior to her career in design, she was an AmeriCorps VISTA & social worker. She provided services in complex cases of child abuse, neglect, and exploitation; and managed an emergency domestic violence shelter.

Aside from interiors, Jill enjoys contemporary art, vintage vehicles and collecting curiosities.

Orea recieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then she has been working in both experiential and interior design. She sees space as a narrative shaped by frames, sightlines and contrast in balanced tension.This perspective shapes her approach, beginning with light, proportion and movement to define a space’s rhythm. Her process centers on restoring and refining, exploring materials and crafting bespoke interventions that translate the narrative into form

Her experiential work includes partnerships in technology, media, advocacy and the performing arts, with past collaborations including The Wall Street Journal, the ACLU, American Ballet Theatre and touring artists such as The Lumineers.

Of Tlingit and European ancestry, Orea was born and raised in Alaska. She has lived in Savannah, Louisville,Portland, and New York until we can convinced her to move to Los Angeles full time.

She likes to refinish furniture in her spare time.
