ALL ABOUT US
THIS PAGE IS
Supply Junkie was born from the real-life frustration of overpriced home renovations—and the discovery that there’s a better way. Founded by freelance interior designer and homeowner Joshua Mckenzi Smith, the idea took shape after receiving a $68,000 window quote that just didn’t sit right. A little digging revealed the supplier behind the markup, and a direct quote came in at just $14,000. That eye-opening experience led to more smart sourcing, and eventually, a partnership with trusted contractor Dalan Telles. Together, they created Supply Junkie—a sourcing and logistics company built to cut through the noise, eliminate the middleman, and help homeowners and professionals access beautiful design without getting played by big-box pricing.
