Jessica's background started with her study in Architecture, later Interior Design at New York Institute of Technology. Jessica grew up with two influential men in her life. Her own late father who owned a successful screen printing company and her stepfather who owns a successful contracting business helped forge the path for her to become a business owner and creative. Jessica has been working alongside her stepfather from an early age. "Working with my dad has given me the opportunity to really understand the logistics and construction within a home. It's so important as a designer to understand the practicality of creating something especially in a world where budgets are a factor." Jessica learned extensively from working for NYC’s top Urban Developer, high-end residential designers, furniture manufacturers and even a startup home staging company in Long Island, NY. After honing in on her craft, Jessica decided to open the doors to her own parent company Claude Designs. Which later evolved intoClaude Home Staging andClaude Living for Interior Design. "The thing I want most is for a person to have a space that is curated and designed in a practical and achievable way. Nothing gives me greater joy than having people truly connect with our spaces.” You will usually find Jessica in the evening exploring creative outlets such as ballroom dancing, making furniture, or simply sketching out new ideas.
“Jessica and her team at Claude Living are simply the best when it comes to design! I’ve worked with them for almost a decade—with home staging, residential and commercial interior design —as well as hospitality design of our bridal suite tied to our event space. There isn’t a design professional locally that is more qualified and with a finite eye for detail, than Jessica and Claude Living.”
