Jessica grew up summering on an island off the coast of Maine, surrounded by grand shingled cottages filled with layers of history, pattern, and charm. These were houses meant to be lived in—rooms lined with beautiful furniture, storied chintzes, and wallpapers that felt both timeless and personal. Many echoed the sensibility of legendary decorator Sister Parish, who summered in the area, and whose work celebrated comfort, character, and individuality over formality. From an early age, Jessica was immersed in an environment where good design was simply part of everyday life, and she knew she wanted to be a designer.
She went on to study at the University of Oregon, earning a professional degree in Interior Architecture, before moving to New York City to further hone her craft. There, she worked with some of the industry’s most respected firms, including Elizabeth Bauer, Markham Roberts, and Lilse McKenna, gaining invaluable experience on residential projects across the United States and abroad.
Drawing on years of hands-on design experience and long-standing relationships with artisans, workrooms, and vendors around the world, Jessica brings a highly tailored approach to each project. Her work spans a wide range of styles, guided not by a fixed aesthetic, but by the needs, tastes, and lives of her clients. The result is thoughtful, layered interiors that feel personal, enduring, and unmistakably reflective of the people who live in them.
