Meet the Founders

SNAPup! was founded by longtime friends and Newport Beach natives, Jillian Griffin and Kristen Hatfield, who shared a passion for beautiful homes, thoughtfully designed spaces, and creating meaningful connections within their community.

After years of helping friends, family, and clients buy, sell, and source furniture through word of mouth, they recognized a gap in the market. There wasn’t a simple, trusted, and elevated way to sell high-quality home furnishings locally. Too many beautiful pieces were sitting in storage, being given away, or headed for donation simply because the resale process felt overwhelming and time-consuming.

With backgrounds that blended sales, operations, technology, and design, Jillian and Kristen saw an opportunity….together, they launched SNAPup! With the mission to simplify the resale process, they have successfully been able to connect current, quality furnishings with buyers who appreciate great design. SNAPup! has made the process seamless helping people easily buy and sell curated home furnishings while extending the life of beautiful pieces and making luxury design more accessible.

What started organically through friendships and community connections quickly grew into a trusted marketplace across Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Today, SNAPup! has become known for its highly curated inventory, personalized approach, and streamlined experience for both buyers and sellers.

At the heart of SNAPup! is the belief that homes evolve — and furnishings should too. Jillian and Kristen continue to grow the business with a focus on community, connection, sustainability, and helping clients create homes they truly love.
