Jessica grew up in a home with an interior designer/sculptor as a mother, and a physician/real-estate developer as a dad. These influences fostered her love and appreciation for fine art, furniture, and beautiful spaces. Jessica began to show interest in design at a young age. She would create furniture for her Barbie's homes and frequently rearrange her bedroom furniture. When Jessica's mother hired a colleague to professionally redesign her bedroom, her interest in interior design became heightened. However, like most young adults, she wanted to avoid following in the footsteps of her parents. She never dreamed of studying art and design in college, nor did she ever have thoughts of becoming a physician or real-estate developer.

Jessica enrolled in the University of Arkansas’s Walton College of Business, seeking a degree in business marketing. After completing several semesters there, her love and inclination to create and design overshadowed the humdrum of simply obtaining a degree in business.

Shortly thereafter, Jessica decided to transfer to a Junior College in Atlanta Georgia with plans to transfer to Georgia State University. There she received her Bachelors in Fine Art with a concentration in Interior Design in 2015.

Upon Graduation, Jessica landed a coveted internship back home in Little Rock AR. At Witsel, Evans, & Rascoe (W.E.R.) architects and planners. There she worked with well-known interior designers and architects gaining experience in the realm of commercial interiors. Jessica’s stand out project was middle school relocation for the Little Rock School District. Her renderings were featured on the local news stations.

Jessica went on to work as a designer for a high-end furniture boutique that specialized in luxury contemporary European furniture and accessories. The furniture lines that they represented were Walter K., Ligne Roset, Moooi, Flos Lighting, and many others. This is where she gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in purchasing, quoting, shipping and receiving of residential furniture.
