Heather Jennings is an artist, designer, writer, and astrologer who believes that beauty has the power to heal. Through her multidisciplinary practice, Heather Jennings Lifestyle, she explores the connection between art, design, wellness, and astrology.

For the past eight years, Heather has led Blackwell & Jennings, a Raleigh-based commercial interior design studio specializing in trauma-informed design and wellness-focused environments. Her work spans nonprofit clinics, health centers, boutique medical offices, and gyms. She has designed nearly a dozen Planned Parenthood clinics across the South and has partnered with mission-driven organizations that create spaces for care, healing, and community.

A breast cancer diagnosis became a defining moment in Heather’s creative journey. It led her back to the roots of her practice: painting, journaling, ritual, and reflection. From that period of renewal, Heather Jennings Lifestyle emerged as a holistic expression of her philosophy uniting design, art, and astrology to support personal and collective healing.

Before founding her interior design studio, Heather built a successful career in fashion design. She studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City and later in London under the legendary Diana Hughes, focusing on fashion illustration. Over fifteen years, she designed collections, participated in Fashion Week, and developed an artistic sensibility shaped by the dynamic downtown New York scene.

Today, travel and exploration continue to inspire her creative process. Whether painting in Santorini or studying Ayurveda and Vastu in India, Heather views the world as an evolving studio. Each experience becomes part of her artistic language, expressed through interiors, fine art, poetry, and astrology.

Heather’s work integrates design that supports healing, art that evokes emotion, and astrology that reveals deeper patterns. Her approach invites clients and audiences alike to experience creativity as a form of connection and restoration. Through her multidisciplinary practice, Heather Jennings Lifestyle brings together the visual, emotional, and spiritual elements of living well as she offers spaces, artwork, and experiences that encourage presence, reflection, and renewal.
