Hi! I am Jess…
Every since I was a young child, designing spaces was apart of my DNA.
Watching programs such as Trading Spaces on TLC or House Hunters on HGTV took my imagination outside my tiny hometown in Hampton, New Brunswick and had inspired many home projects, like DIY decor, rearranging my bedroom in every way possible and organizing my family’s kitchen cupboards for a fun “summer project”.
In later years, I excitedly took the “Housing + Interior Design” class in High School, which opened my eyes even further to the possibilities of having a career designing spaces for others to enjoy.
After graduating from Hampton High School, I learned about the various aspects of business at the University of New Brunswick, Saint John. It was here that I developed my acute sense of business practices, which provided a strong foundation to become an entrepreneur and begin my own design consultation practice in 2016.
Equipped with the knowledge of: the practicality of the design process through a Diploma in Interior Design + the thorough understanding of the importance and impact of our environments through a Certification in Feng Shui, I specialized my practice in designing spaces for clients and others to thrive in.
In the past 9 years, I have worked with a wide variety of clients to design meaningful spaces. Projects have ranged from small scale (such as a single room redesign), to large scale (such as a new build of a 4,000+ sq ft wellness center and 5 small cabins for accommodations) and everything in between locally and around the world via virtual consultations.
On a more personal side…
Alongside of growing a design practice, I became a mother to 3 incredible children and wife to my life partner.
When I am not designing, my days are filled with gardening, yoga/meditation, hiking with my family and my friends, baking and cooking. I thoroughly enjoy living close with nature, creating an intentional/conscious life and sharing meaningful moments with loved ones.
Thank you for being here! I look forward to designing a meaningful space for yourself.
