Founder & Creative Director, Studio 49
Jeanine Lall is the visionary force behind Studio 49, an Austin-based atelier where design, art, and innovation converge. As Creative Director, Jeanine channels her passion for craftsmanship, vibrant color, and bold ideas into every project—turning concepts into captivating, functional works of art.
Rooted in a deep appreciation for modern aesthetics and timeless elegance, Jeanine’s design ethos blends creativity with precision. Her work is defined by meticulous attention to detail and a fearless approach to experimentation. Each creation—from limited-edition pieces to fully realized interior spaces—embodies her unique perspective and commitment to quality.
Her pieces do more than fill a space—they transform it. Whether working with resin, metals, acrylics, or other unconventional materials, Jeanine explores the nuanced concept of transparency in art and design. Every item is handcrafted in her Austin studio, creating immersive, collectible works that evoke emotion and spark conversation.
Jeanine’s design journey has been shaped by a global perspective. While living in London, she studied at the University of the Arts London, expanding her artistic vision and embracing diverse cultural influences that continue to inspire her today.
Originally from California, Jeanine’s early love for interior design, business, and artistic exploration laid the foundation for her multidisciplinary approach. Her intuitive eye and visionary thinking have earned her the nickname “the creative matrix”—known for visualizing how a piece will live in a space long before it takes form.
After relocating to Austin in 2000, Jeanine built a life and career grounded in authenticity and curiosity. A four-year chapter abroad in London with her partner only deepened her creative well. In 2021, they returned to Austin—a city that remains the heart of her personal and professional world.
At Studio 49, Jeanine continues to challenge conventions and redefine contemporary design. Her hands-on approach, combined with an irreverent yet refined style, positions the studio as a hub for forward-thinking artistry and innovation…
