Jane Brakefield

Jane joined Capstone in 2012 with 30+ years of interior design experience working previously for architectural firms and as an in-house designer for two different corporations.  Her experience includes space planning, selecting interior finishes and furniture. Jane designs and creates environments that are perfectly attuned to the vision, mission and values of each institutional client, while keeping the student user in mind. Jane’s depth of experience includes higher education, off-campus and on-campus housing, corporate headquarters, financial institutions, healthcare facilities and mixed-use spaces. For each client, she works closely with the team to prepare plans, prepare specifications and budget proposals; make design presentations; coordinate furniture orders with Capstone Interiors procurement coordinator, and oversees the installation of furnishings that requires a lot of pre-planning and logistical coordination. Jane stands out for her ability to lead both clients and project teams through engaging design processes that lead to memorable solutions and valuable outcomes. During her career in higher ed, Jane’s client list includes University of Alabama Birmingham, Auburn University, University of Massachusetts Boston, University of South Florida, University of Chicago, Lynn University, and the University of Southern Maine.
