Rush Jenkins

Rush, founder and principal creative of WRJ Design, is nationally known for creating award-winning interiors that are both ultra-luxurious and unpretentiously livable. Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, WRJ creates refined, contemporary environments combining the finest internationally sourced furnishings with historically rich, one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate client stories and reflect a deep connection to surrounding majestic landscapes. The firm's interiors unfold with a sense of discovery, a technique honed early in Rush's career when he worked as director of design for Sotheby's, New York, creating more than sixty showstopping exhibitions of the collections of such luminaries as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Bunny Mellon, Nancy Reagan, Bill Blass, Mario Buatta, Cher, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Recognition for WRJ includes publications in Architectural Digest, LUXE Interiors + Design, The New York Times, Traditional Home, and House Beautiful.

WRJ is the recipient of multiple awards, including the ICAA Jacques Benedict Award, “Home of the Year” from Mountain Living magazine four times in less than a decade, and the RED award from Luxe Magazine. WRJ Design published its first book entitled Natural Elegance: Luxurious Mountain Living, with their next book slated for a summer 2026 release, and have received multiple mentions in other publications. Rush holds a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from Cal Poly, and an associate’s degree from Sotheby’s London in fine and decorative arts. When not creating interiors for clients, he and his partner, Klaus Baer, can be found skiing the Rocky Mountains, biking through the national parks, and hiking with their two Newfoundlands, Dutchie and Wolfie.
