Our Team

Jenny Hilborn

Good day! I’m Jenny. The Founder. The ‘British’ Designer. The Stager. And the overall passion behind Centre Staged Inc. When I’m not wearing one of my many day-time hats, I’m your regular mum to 2 wonderful children, wife to another entrepreneur (makes for an interesting household), a traveler and a lover of all things nature inspired.

What gets me out of bed on a regular busy day?…knowing that I get to live my passion while helping others and seeing their reaction when they fall in love with their home again. It never gets old! I live, eat and breathe Interior Design. I’m also pretty type A, so when it comes to the finishing touches on a staging or design project, I’m pretty meticulous. Which is what I would want if someone was designing my home.

I’ve invested years into tailoring our proven staging and design processes, to ensure we deliver the most valuable customer service and make your project run smoothly and stress-free. Our extensive design background means we’re up-to-date with the current market trends and cater to our clients’ every need.

Every home has a story. We can’t wait to meet you and learn yours!

Neve Costain

Hey everybody! My name is Neve. As a Junior Interior Designer, 3D Visualizer and Drawing Technician, I am creative, outgoing, passionate, and almost always caffeinated. I am a recent Interior Decorating graduate lucky enough to be part of this incredible team at Centre Staged Designs.

On a day-to-day basis, you will find me head-deep in my computer using state-of-the-art technology, designing and organizing anything I can put my fingers on! Some might say I’m a “Neat Gal.”

My favourite part of the design process is showing clients their virtual designs and the final result. This job has become so incredibly rewarding. I get so excited helping clients visualize their potential dream homes, and looking forward to doing so with you!

When I am not at work, you can find me at home, organizing/DIYing storage solutions, painting, sharing a laugh or drink with friends and family, and admiring nature.

Linda Trafford

Hi, I’m Linda.  I am the Financial Controller for Centre Staged.  I have many years of experience working with businesses from all kinds of industries and of all sizes.  From small startups to large international corporations.

I am primarily a numbers gal with a huge interest in home design and interior decorating (unfortunately, interest doesn’t equate to talent…I’ll leave that to our extremely talented team of designers!).  

I love my job at Centre Staged because it gives me the opportunity to use my financial skills to help grow the business and I also get to watch (and learn) the design process from the best!

When I’m not at work I can be found partying with my family in Newfoundland on Facetime, at my trailer hanging out with my better half, or working on projects around my home.  I’ve also taken up DIY crafting in the last year.  YouTube has become my best friend!

Alex Payton

Hi! I’m Alex and the newest member of the team. I’m so happy to have started my career with Centre Staged Designs. As a recent graduate of an Interior Decorating program, I look forward to working with this wonderful team to make our client’s hopes and dreams come true.

I have a passion for environmentally conscious design, as well as creating healthy and accessible interiors. I like to understand how people use their homes and then create environments that are both efficient and beautiful. I also love to organize just about everything!

After hours, I spend my time with family and friends, staying active with long walks and yoga, and baking.
