MWM EP. 57 – Why Home Is a Feeling, Not Just a Look with Jenny Wolf

About the episode 

Jenny Wolf builds rooms that feel like home, and lately her commercial clients have been asking her to bring that same feeling into their offices and hotels.

Jenny joins Mike on Minutes with Mike for a candid conversation about her “10% design, 90% problem solving” framing of the work, why every furniture selection has to clear a “spark joy” test, and how a shop installation at the Greenbrier Hotel and a coffee-table book on Dorothy Draper turned a Ralph Lauren career into her own design firm. She also walks through The Huntress, her store she frames as “a movement, not a store,” and tells a Hudson, NY auction story that ends in 2026 with a piece she first spotted in a 2016 magazine.
