Jodi Peterman
Meet Jodi Peterman, the creative powerhouse behind Elizabeth Erin Designs, a premier full-service residential, commercial, and vacation rental interior design firm. With over two decades of experience, Jodi brings a passion for design, a sharp eye for quality, and a client-centered approach to every project she undertakes.
Jodi's journey into the world of design began when she was a little girl, playing with her Grandma Charlotte's scraps of fabric to create new curtains and accent pillows for her Barbie's house. This early love for design led her to pursue a degree from Iowa State University, where she graduated. During her time at Iowa State, Jodi completed an internship at Kay Unger, New York, in NYC, where she honed her skills and developed a keen eye for detail and quality.
After getting married, Jodi moved to New Jersey, where she and her husband welcomed twin daughters, Hanna Elizabeth and Sydney Erin. It was in their honor that Jodi named her company Elizabeth Erin Designs. The perfect company name came to her in a dream, a combination of her twin daughters’ middle names.
Jodi started Elizabeth Erin Designs in 2003 with a passion for providing her customers with the highest level of design services within their budgets. She developed the Ensured Ease Design (EED) Process, a groundbreaking approach that bridges the communication gap between contractors and clients, ensuring that both budget and design wants are clearly understood from the outset. This process allows clients to share essential details—desired design tastes and their budget—at the beginning of a project, making the EED Process renowned for its ease and effectiveness today.
Jodi's innovative and unique approach to design has made Elizabeth Erin Designs the go-to firm for clients looking to create spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Whether it's a modern commercial office or a cozy family home, Jodi and her team have an innate ability to understand their client's vision and translate it into reality while staying within budget.
With her extensive experience and expertise in the industry, Jodi has built a reputation as a leader in the design world. She and her team are dedicated to creating a client experience that exceeds expectations, ensuring that every project is not just successful but memorable. Jodi’s commitment to excellence and ability to blend creativity with practicality have earned her numerous accolades and a loyal client base. Under her leadership, Elizabeth Erin Designs continues to set new standards in the industry, consistently delivering exceptional results that inspire and delight. Today, Elizabeth Erin Designs is dedicated to a shared purpose that their clients continually value, ensuring that you, too, can Achieve Your Vision!
