bringing high-end interiors into the mainstream
AD100 designer Corey Damen Jenkins, one of the most influential LGBTQ voices in design today, is bringing high-end interiors into the mainstream with his new streaming series “Design Reimagined with Corey Damen Jenkins.” —while championing inclusive, identity-affirming design at every turn.
A MasterClass instructor, AD100 designer, and ELLE Decor A-List member, Corey has redefined what it means to lead with authenticity in a historically exclusive industry. His work has graced the covers of Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, ELLE Decor, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, but his impact goes far beyond aesthetics. As an openly LGBTQ+ creative, Corey’s journey is a story of resilience, reinvention, and redefining success on his own terms.
Corey expertise covers a fabulous range of subjects
- The launch of Design Reimagined and the future of inclusive design in streaming
- Breaking barriers as a Black, LGBTQ+ designer in a legacy industry
- How to create luxury interiors at any budget—without compromising authenticity
- The biggest design mistakes (and how to avoid them) when centering culture and identity
- Designing spaces that reflect personal narrative, queer joy, and community.
one of the most sought-after designers in the world
From knocking on 779 doors during the 2009 recession to land his first client to becoming one of the most sought-after designers in the world, Corey’s path is a testament to queer perseverance and vision. Now, with Design Reimagined, he’s opening doors to luxury design in a way that feels empowering, accessible, and unapologetically inclusive. Through bold transformations, vibrant color palettes, and his signature personality, Corey is advancing what he calls “design democracy”—the belief that beautiful, meaningful spaces should reflect diverse stories, cultures, and lived experiences.
