Palouse Chapter

Jasmine Galle’s nascent career has been one wild ride. While attending Spokane Falls Community College, where she received an AAS degree in Interior Design in June 2018, she won first place in the kitchen category in the NKBA’s Student Design Competition. When her design — a “contemporary classic” space for under $16,000 featuring white cabinets with brass accents and a navy blue island with a custom waterfall edge — was selected for a Habitat for Humanity home in New Jersey, she worked alongside HGTV stars Chip Wade and Jennifer Bertrand to help build it. After graduation, Jasmine was hired by a design firm, got married and gave birth to a daughter, all within a year. When the pandemic hit, she changed course and founded Social Soul Studio.

“Imagine an eight-year-old with a tape measure drawing out a new floor plan every month or so — that was me!

Her goal: To help people — Millennials, new mothers, do-it-yourselfers on a budget —  through any stage of design as their “affordable designer for life.” She focuses on creative solutions, beginning with virtual coaching consultations, intended to make a client’s wallet happy with spaces that speak to their soul. Not surprisingly, this self-proclaimed “do-it-all creative and dreamer” is obsessed with coffee. “I’d drink it all day if my body didn’t twitch out,” she jokes. Another passion is color. Blues and yellows are her current favorites, especially pops of yellow throughout interiors. Her third love is community, because she believes designers should lift each other up.

Jasmine, who is studying for NKBA certification and dreams of designing her own home one day, fondly recalls constantly rearranging her childhood bedroom, moving furniture by herself and painting the walls green and purple, red with stripes and even lime green. “Imagine an eight-year-old with a tape measure drawing out a new floor plan every month or so — that was me!” she says. Now she’s a work-from-home mom with her own business, a toddler, two dogs and the motto, “DIY until the day I die.”
