From the moment Jessie Surber first started sketching buildings in grade school, she was destined to transform spaces.

Jessie's parents continue to inspire her with a unique mix of creativity and practicality.

Her mother is wonderfully artistic, while her father has a talent for constructing almost anything. Some of her earliest memories are of him designing and managing the construction of their various homes—overseeing everything from building kitchen cabinets to laying exterior brick. This hands-on experience instilled in Jessie the value of detailed craftsmanship.

Meanwhile, during family vacations, visiting art galleries and touring new construction homes was commonplace, further igniting her passion for design.

Today, Jessie brings this unique perspective to every project, creating homes that tell a story of artistry and personal connection.

Background

Jessie’s passion for design was sparked in childhood, growing up in a home filled with creativity. Her mother and father shaped her deep appreciation for art and craftsmanship. This nurturing environment taught her the importance of creating beautiful and livable spaces.

Education & Early Career

Jessie’s formal education includes an art degree from Sinclair Community College and specialized training from the Interior Designers Business School in London, UK. In her early 20s, she worked with high-net-worth individuals, including a billionaire, where she gained firsthand experience in luxury design and meticulous attention to detail. This exposure, combined with her education and hands-on experience, allows Jessie to confidently tackle a wide range of design challenges, ensuring each project is executed with expertise and style.

Design Philosophy and Vision

Great design is in the details—honoring the past while creating a home for the future. Jessie Surber Design specializes in crafting timeless, classic, and inviting spaces by thoughtfully layering color, pattern, and detail. She draws inspiration from historical designers, art galleries, gardening, and everyday adventures with her three children to create spaces that feel both collected and intentional.

With expert guidance, your home can become the beautiful and functional backdrop to your best life—welcoming, timeless, and comforting. Whether through new construction, renovations, or custom furnishings, Jessie ensures each project reflects her clients’ unique stories and styles.

She believes a well-designed home should be more than aesthetically pleasing—it should be full of character, warmth, and longevity, a place where family and friends naturally gather. Her mission is to help clients discover the true potential of their homes, transforming them into beautiful, livable spaces that stand the test of time.

Experience and Personal Projects

Jessie understands the renovation process firsthand. She and her husband have gut-renovated two homes, including their current 1940s Cape Cod, where she served as the lead designer—drawing floor plans, creating cabinet shop drawings, and overseeing subcontractors.

Beyond residential design, Jessie has also designed her husband’s commercial buildings, including a beautifully crafted office kitchen. These experiences give her a unique perspective, allowing her to truly understand her clients' experiences and needs, ensuring that every project is both functional and aesthetically captivating.

Personal Life

When she’s not immersed in design, Jessie loves exploring art galleries, tending to her garden, and spending quality time with her three children. These personal passions continually inspire her work, keeping her designs fresh, innovative, and deeply personal.
