I'm the founder of Jane Draws Plans, where I help homeowners navigate renovations, design thoughtful spaces, and bring their homes to life. I'm also a mom who understands firsthand how overwhelming it can be to make decisions for your family, whether that's choosing the right baby products or selecting finishes for your home.

Over the years, I've spent countless hours researching products, reading reviews, asking for recommendations, testing different options, and refining what truly works. Through both motherhood and my professional experience designing and furnishing homes, I've developed a deep appreciation for products that are functional, beautiful, and genuinely worth recommending.

That's why I created Jane Knows Gear.

Every product shared here has been personally tested, thoughtfully considered, or professionally vetted through real-life experience. For our motherhood recommendations, we only share products that my own children have used and that our family has genuinely been happy with. For our home recommendations, we draw from products we've incorporated into our own spaces, specified through Jane Draws Plans, or confidently recommend based on professional experience.

We believe recommendations should come from a place of trust, not trends. If we wouldn't use it ourselves or confidently recommend it to a friend, you won't find it here.

We know how much time goes into comparing options, reading reviews, watching videos, and trying to determine what's actually worth your investment. Our hope is to simplify that process by providing direct recommendations we genuinely stand behind, so you can spend less time researching and more time enjoying your home and family.
