When she isn’t working, Jouviane is usually binge-watching DIY projects on YouTube, searching the web for inexpensive home decor finds, or trying to figure out why the carrots in her garden won’t grow.

Subject Matter Expertise: Remodeling

Education: Pennsylvania State University (2015)

Favorite home style: Having grown up in South Orange, NJ, Jouviane has fallen in love with the Victorian-style and Colonial-revival houses that line the streets of the historic Montrose Park district.
