Jen Hardiman
Over the last sixteen years, Jen has gained a wide variety of experience in the industry. Before joining the team at Old New England Restoration, Inc., she worked with builders and architectural designers on high end appliances at Clarke, in Milford, MA. She has innate talent for artistic expression and is just as creative with problem-solving. With an eye for design and an easy-going personality, Jen is an ideal member of the design team and a beloved partner for our clients. Impassioned, she combines client’s visions with her talents, skills and design experience into software design to produce floor plans, elevations and 3-D drawings. These drawings serve as visual guidance as the design team, woodworking shop and clients work to realize “dream kitchens” and other projects. What truly brings Jen satisfaction is seeing the designs that she helps create come to life in our woodworking shop and finally the completion of the project, where the beauty and joy come to fruition.
