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.
We’d love to bring a team of our friendly, efficient and talented Move Managers, to partner with you on your journey! If you’re already working with us, you've already experienced their great attitudes and love for their jobs and clients. If you haven’t worked with us yet, we’d love to have the chance to introduce ourselves and meet our team we've built over 10 years.
Our team is diligently following the CDC and Pennsylvania guidelines regarding mask wearing, social distancing, and hand-washing during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more about what our company is doing to protect our staff and clients, click here.
