Meet the Founders

SNAPup! was founded by longtime friends and Newport Beach natives, Jillian Griffin and Kristen Hatfield, who share a passion for beautiful homes, thoughtful design, and building meaningful connections within their community.

The idea for SNAPup! came from watching friends and family repeatedly give away, donate, or store quality furnishings during moves, remodels, and life transitions. There wasn’t a simple, trusted, and elevated way to sell them locally. They knew there had to be a better way to connect quality furnishings with buyers who truly appreciate great design.

With backgrounds in sales, technology, operations, and design, Jillian and Kristen saw an opportunity to create something different. Together, they launched SNAPup! as a modern resale platform designed to simplify the process of buying and selling furnishings. Through strategic pricing, curated presentation, and personalized service, they created a platform focused on current, design-forward pieces while helping sellers maximize value and buyers discover furnishings they love.

What began through friendships and local referrals has grown into a trusted marketplace serving Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Today, SNAPup! is known for its curated inventory, seamless experience, and hands-on approach. Jillian and Kristen remain deeply involved in every project, helping clients navigate transitions with confidence while giving beautiful furnishings a second life.
