Vida is of Canadian and South American descent. Her distinctive design-sense cuts across cultural lines and has been greatly influenced by years of extensive international travel. Driven by a passion for marrying light, space and color with practical comfort, Vida began her formal design career in Los Angeles. After years of extensive experience working with renowned LA designer, Windsor Smith, Vida launched her own design firm, Vida Shore Design. With broad-ranging projects - from Los Angeles’ BMG Music Studios, set design, vacation rentals, single family homes, office and commercial spaces -Vida Shore has created living and working environments that meet clients’ needs and exceed their expectations. Each project is approached with the focus squarely on the people who will live, work and play within the space. Her artistic capabilities, hands-on approach, and openness to tackling a range of design challenges always net the same result: style, comfort and functionality.
ABOUT
Vida Shore - Designer
Jennifer Boodin - Designer
Jennifer is a graduate of Syracuse University with a degree in Environmental Design Interiors. Specializing in all aspects of residential design, including kitchens and baths, Jennifer brings a wealth of experience from her design and build work with custom furniture designer Lee Weitzman in Chicago and Snaidero Italian Kitchens in San Francisco. With a passion for design, Jennifer is dedicated to creating warm, beautiful, and functional living spaces. A proud resident of Portland for 17 years, she infuses her local inspiration into every project. Design has always been a passion of mine, ignited during my school years when I first discovered the joy of creating. Traveling has expanded my horizons, allowing me to draw inspiration from many different landscapes, shaping my unique design perspective. Family has been a constant source of support, encouraging me to explore my creativity and embrace the idea of designing for everyone. Together, these experiences fuel my commitment to making design accessible and meaningful for all.
Together, Vida and Jennifer bring the following to each project:
• Functional and clean design that is timeless yet modern
• A collaborative approach that ensures the client’s vision is achieved
• A willingness and ability to work along the entire design continuum -- from something as “small” as helping a client pick paint colors or accent pieces, to coordinating with architects and contractors
• A respect and sensitivity to budget
