Jennifer Bull Bailey (aka Neil) – owner, designer, speaker
Jennifer is the hands-on owner of Tile Sensations, Knoxville’s source for all things tile. With over 30 years experience in the tile Industry, Jennifer brings her unique view of design from living and traveling within the US and abroad. While Tile Sensations primarily serves clients in the Knoxville area, Jennifer’s projects include residential & commercial jobs from Maine to Florida to California. This is partially because Jennifer knows how to market her business, but also because she finds friends everywhere she goes.
Staying busy is not a problem for Jennifer. In addition to running a small business, Jennifer is available to share her experiences through speaking engagements. Jennifer’s free time is spent traveling, dabbling in vintage goods, playing board games and enjoying lake time.

Whether she is enjoying time having brunch or working on a new design project, Krista is living the dream.

Darius Brown – warehouse
Darius is Tile Sensations’ Lord of the Lift Truck and is always the first person to see a client’s order off the pallet. He may work behind the scenes, but work he does; Darius loads, unloads, counts, sorts, checks and double checks every order coming in or going out of Tile Sensations’ warehouse. Darius loves spending time with his son, sports, and visiting his family in Memphis. Darius will brighten your day with his willingness to learn new things and always lends a helping hand when you need that particular sample off the very top shelf! Darius is new to Knoxville and we are grateful he has joined our team.
