Evelyn Beiler, Design Coordinator
"Evelyn has enjoyed crafting welcoming spaces for herself and her friends from little on up, and is thrilled to be continuing that in a professional capacity at JKS&CO. When approaching the design process, she is inspired by a quote from William Morris, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
Her natural discernment for design and internal "get 'er done" mentality help her as she manages admin responsiblities, coordinates project logistics, and assists clients with design choices.
Outside of work, Evelyn enjoys reading classic fiction and theology, attending concerts of her favorite music artists, and curating her Pinterest boards to perfection. In her free time, you might find her watching a film, sitting in a patch of sunlight, or enjoying a cup of tea with friends at her go-to spot in downtown Lancaster."
