About

With more than 30 years of experience, Vida Shore creates timeless, welcoming interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Her Canadian and South American heritage, combined with years of international travel, has shaped a design perspective that is layered, personal, and inspired by the places and people she has encountered along the way.

Vida began her career in Los Angeles, where she trained under acclaimed designer Windsor Smith before founding Vida Shore Design. Over the past three decades, she has designed luxury residences, vacation homes and commercial spaces.

Known for her collaborative approach and attention to detail, Vida believes great design should enhance the way people live, work, and gather. She creates thoughtful, livable spaces that reflect each client’s lifestyle while balancing beauty, comfort, and lasting style.

Jennifer is a graduate of Syracuse University with a degree in Environmental Design Interiors. She specializes in residential design with deep expertise in kitchens and baths, built on design and build work with custom furniture designer Lee Weitzman in Chicago and Snaidero Italian Kitchens in San Francisco.

Her love of design started early, in school, the first time she discovered the joy of making something. Travel widened it. Family encouraged it. Those threads still run through her work today: design that is warm, beautiful, functional, and meant for everyone.

A Portlander of 17 years, Jennifer brings local inspiration to every project.
