ABOUT
Whether in a bedroom sanctuary, in a functional communal space, or on the front door that greets us home, the colors we choose to live with have a profound impact on our lives.
Colors can build energy, or calm it. That’s why a specific shade can either ground or give your space (and you) more breathing room. Colors have the power to influence our mood and enhance our lives. The best part? The hues we use in our surroundings can be updated to better serve us, our families, or the guests we host.
The color consulting aspect of my business comes from 15+ years of working closely with clients to offer a service that extends beyond residential painting. My color work is highly intuitive and deeply intentional. It’s a collaborative process fueled by authentic connection and compassion. It involves some color psychology and a dose of chemistry, but ultimately it’s innate and personal to each of my clients.
Together, we’ll create custom colors and palettes that reflect not only who you are, but how you want to feel in your space. My hope is that the positive energy you receive from your environment carries outside that front door and into every aspect of your life—a true harmony of self, inspired by your surroundings.
Meet Justin
I’ve been drawn to the magic of color for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I noticed how walking into a room and sensing its color could completely shape my mood and outlook. This connection only deepened with time, leading me to study psychology in college, where I focused on how our environments impact us daily. My research often centered on the power of color, particularly in spaces like hospitals, schools, and corporate settings, where a thoughtful palette could profoundly transform a person’s experience.
In 2009, I pivoted into the world of painting and restoration, founding Hobart & Co., where we breathe new life into historic homes, nurturing them back to their prime. This work not only allows me to share my lifelong passion for color, but it also brings a sense of renewal and connection for my clients and my team. Each project offers us moments of transformation, where spaces are healed and, in return, seem to heal us as well.
Now, with the addition of HUE, every project feels like a full-circle moment! It’s here that I blend my deep knowledge and passion for color with my mission to help others find fresh beauty and a renewed sense of balance in the spaces where they spend the most time.
