About

Meet Jennifer Moen, founder

Before founding Carpe Diem Decor, Jennifer spent 23 years selling real estate, walking through thousands of homes and learning what makes a space truly work for the people in it.

For the last 10 years, as founder and sole proprietor of Carpe Diem Decor, she has helped homeowners turn that knowledge into sanctuaries: rooms arranged with intention, colors chosen with care, the natural elements brought home, and energy kept clear.

When you work with Carpe Diem Decor, you work with Jennifer directly, from first idea to finished space.
