Jaque Bethke
Jaque Bethke is the founder of Jaque Bethke Design, an architecture, interior design, and procurement firm operating across four states and projected to reach $20 million in revenue. Her path to success was anything but conventional: after losing her father at a young age and navigating her mother's addiction, she attended 27 schools before graduating and learned early to read people and environments as a survival skill. That ability later became a professional superpower, refined through 21 years at Wynn Resorts and training at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin School of Architecture.
Today Jaque leads with emotion, spirituality, and nature, designing spaces from the heart rather than the ego. She also owns 160 acres in Wisconsin, where she is creating a wilderness retreat for children and remains deeply involved with the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Taliesin Foundation. Her mission is to turn trauma into sanctuary and to build a legacy that gives back to the next generation.
