Jani Knighton
Exceptional spaces begin with intention. For Jani Knighton, interior design is about far more than creating beautiful environments—it's about designing spaces that support the way people work, connect and experience the world around them.
A graduate of the University of Pretoria, Jani is an experienced interior architect with over a decade in the industry. Through de.fine Interior Designers, she specialises in corporate, commercial and hospitality interior design, combining technical expertise with refined creativity to transform ideas into spaces that are both functional and visually compelling.
Jani provides comprehensive turnkey interior design solutions, guiding every project from concept development through to final implementation. From space planning and material selection to technical documentation and project coordination, every detail is approached with purpose, precision and a deep understanding of each client's goals.
Her design philosophy is rooted in collaboration. By taking the time to understand every client's vision, brand identity and operational needs, Jani creates interiors that feel effortless, enhance everyday experiences and leave a lasting impression.
Over the years, she has had the privilege of working with respected brands and developers including Growthpoint Properties, Mass Petroleum, iMas Finance and the Spur Group. These partnerships reflect her commitment to delivering thoughtful interior design solutions that create lasting value for the businesses and people who use them.
For Jani, great design isn't simply about how a space looks.
It's about how it works, how it feels, and the experiences it creates.
