Meet Kerry
Founder and Principal Designer
Born out of Kerry Jacobs' lifelong love of beautiful, functional interiors and named for two neighborhoods in her hometown of Larchmont, New York, Manor + Woods was established in 2017. Kerry has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts and Psychology from Georgetown University, and it’s that creative background that serves as the foundation of the firm.
​
When not designing, Kerry can be found with her husband and three children and their two labradoodles, Sandy and Tucker. She loves spending her free time with family and friends or getting lost in the Stamford Design Centers, searching for perfect treasures for her clients.
