THE BAND OF INSIDERS
We are a full-service interior design firm, creating unique and inspired interiors that tell the stories of each individual client.
Our band was formed to color outside the lines. This is your home. Your refuge. The place you want to kick off your shoes after a long, trying day. It shouldn’t be like anyone else’s home. This is why our approach addresses each client’s specific needs, passions and personality.
There is so much out there to sort through. So many ideas, products and images. We want to vet these ideas for our clients to create spaces that reflect each person or family. It is our mission to discover the unfound for each home.

ABOUT US
The Band of Insiders, founded by Jennifer Boyd, is a full-service interior architecture and design firm based in Chicago, IL. We do full scale interior renovations as well as an individual room décor refresh. We also help curate collections – art, sculpture, and the like. This can start with a single cherished item our client already owns, or something we create and build from individual tastes, travels and obsessions.
Our band partners with artisans, craftspeople and businesses that are run by the individual or family that founded the company. We value these talents over corporate production lines and we strive to weave these resources into every project.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our design philosophy is simple. It is rooted in who our clients are as individuals. We take time early in our process to understand our clients' lifestyle and needs. This enables us to design with intent and purpose. We walk alongside our clients through the decision-making process, guiding and educating along the way.
