Jean Jacobs is a Six Nations entrepreneur who operates a kitchen design and renovation business rooted in creativity, precision, and a genuine love for transforming homes. Self-employed since 2007, Jean has explored different business paths over the years, but found her true passion in kitchen design and helping people create beautiful, functional spaces. What began as an early interest in blueprints has grown into a career that blends technical skill, design vision, and hands-on experience.
With a background in drafting, Jean uses tools like AutoCAD and other design programs to create accurate layouts and detailed plans for each project. From site measurements to installer notes and final confirmations, her process is thoughtful and meticulous. She still offers this work on a part-time basis, and says the reason she has stayed committed to it is simple: it does not feel like work. For Jean, designing dream spaces is something she truly enjoys, and that passion has helped guide her through the ups and downs of running a business.
Jean believes there is real power in finding the thing that excites you and choosing to stay committed to it. She says passion makes the hard days easier to push through and reminds people not to let discouragement from others interfere with the path they know is right for them. Her advice is grounded in persistence, self-belief, and staying dedicated to your own vision, even when the road gets difficult.
“When you do find that one thing, and not everybody does, and I consider myself to be very fortunate that I did find that, you just don’t give up, you just can’t stop.”
