Our founder, Jill Kearney, has moved seven times in her life — loving each process of starting over, making floor plans, packing and unpacking, and decorating her new home to make it hers. After a successful corporate career, she decided to pursue her passion professionally, achieving her certification in Real Estate Staging and Redesign in 2006.
In 2009, she added Move Management to her expertise and founded Senior Moves by Design, which has since grown from 2 employees to 25. Our team has successfully partnered with 1500+ households to joyfully transition them into beautifully designed homes, cottages, and apartments. She also began educating seniors and families all over our region and beyond, speaking at senior communities, organizations, colleges, and national conferences. In 2020, Jill also launched an online education campaign to help retirees plan for home transitions to make the most of their retirement, through online courses and free resources.
In 2021, the company expanded their offerings and became Specialty Moves by Design, supporting not only senior clients, but other clients moving under special circumstances or looking for a full-service luxury moving experience.
Specialty Moves by Design is staffed by talented, professional, and caring individuals. Meet our team below!

We're expanding our business - and looking for team players! Our growing company has opportunities with great hourly pay for Specialty Move Managers, Moving Associates, Organizers, and Cleaning Personnel.
CURRENTLY HIRING
Moving (Downsizing & Organizing) Associates
$15/hr for packing/unpacking/downsizing/organizing.
Part-Time year-round AND Part-Time seasonal welcome to apply.
Seeking positive team players to join a local family business! We specialize in downsizing, decluttering, packing/unpacking, organizing, and making new spaces truly feel like "home".
The job: Associates report directly to the Move Manager and assist with sorting and downsizing, decluttering, packing, unpacking, and organizing our clients' homes. Many of our clients are over 65 and are facing the emotional process of downsizing - so empathy is essential. We are NOT the movers and do not lift over 25 lbs! As a function of what we do, we work in peoples' homes. This means the jobsite is constantly changing, so you will need reliable transportation and a willingness to drive on average 20-45 minutes to/from client homes. Staff is compensated for travel time and mileage beyond their "standard commute".
Please send a resume, brief cover letter, and 2 references to info@specialtymovesbydesign.com.
Applications will be reviewed by Lindsay Kearney, Director of Operations.
Find out how we can assist you, your family, or a friend. We offer a free, one-hour, in-home consultation with no obligation. Join the growing list of our happy clients who are so pleased they made the call!
