Jennifer R. Wagner, Allied Member ASID the Zimmerman Design Group

  • What area(s) of design do you specialize in?
  • Municipal, health care, educational, corporate office, club and recreation, retail, multi-family residential.
  • What is your design background/education?
  • I attended the Interior Design program in the School of Human Ecology at UW-Madison. I also studied design in Milan, Italy the summer before my senior year at the Institute of European Design.
  • How did you get started in the design field?
  • My first design experience came from a residential internship in Pewaukee, WI. There I learned a lot about products and pricing, but I was also given a lot of freedom which allowed me to develop my own clientele. My second internship at HGA Architects in Milwaukee gave me commercial design experience which turned out to be a great segway into working full time and gave me a good base to build on what I am doing now.
  • Describe your design philosophy:
  • Enhance the human environment with inspired, creative and rational design, which respects the past while revealing the potential of the future.
  • What is your best advice for someone looking for an interior designer?
  • Check out their past work and make sure you feel comfortable with them.
  • How have you been involved in the WI Chapter ASID?
  • During college I was the Secretary to the UW-Madison Student Chapter, and now I am the Professional Liaison to the Mount Mary College ASID Student Chapter.
  • What design awards have you received?
  • While in school I won the Silver award from the ASID Student Design Competition for my redesign of a corporate client, Stephan and Brady Marketing Group. I am still working on the Professional award!
