    On Persistence and Beauty with Corey Damen Jenkins

    In this episode of By Invitation, host Caroline Slaten sits down with AD100 designer and ICAA President's Council member Corey Damen Jenkins to discuss the remarkable journey that took him from knocking on 800 doors in search of his first client to becoming one of the most celebrated names in design today. Corey shares how the classical architecture of historic Detroit shaped his design sensibility, why he compares interior design to working in a hospital (including the art of giving a house a much-needed “nip and tuck”) and how something as simple as paint color can have a surprising impact on relationships. Along the way, Corey reflects on the importance of creating interiors that feel both enduring and deeply personal. Corey Damen Jenkins is the founder and principal of the internationally acclaimed design and architecture firm Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates. An AD100 and ELLE Décor A-List designer, he is a two-time author, MasterClass instructor, and star of a hit streaming series whose work has appeared on the covers of leading design publications including House Beautiful and Traditional Home. Join us for an inspiring conversation about perseverance, creativity, and the enduring appeal of classical design. By Invitation is presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, an educational nonprofit dedicated to advancing the practice, understanding, and appreciation of classical and traditional architecture, art, and design.
