Meet the Staff

At Jovin, we have no voicemail, no sales reps, no company directory. What we do have are real people who know our lampshades. We pride ourselves on our customer service, along with the great lampshades we manufacture. When you give us a call, you’ll speak with one of the people below. Give us a call, or email if you prefer, and get to know us, and find out how we can help with your lampshade and lighting needs.
