Meet Jessie Surber
Founder and Principal Designer
Jessie Surber is the founder and principal designer of Jessie Surber Interiors, a residential interior design studio focused on creating highly original homes grounded in craftsmanship, color, and thoughtful composition.
Her work is rooted in classic architectural foundations and brought to life through layered textiles, nuanced color relationships, and carefully considered details. Each project reflects a clear point of view and a deep respect for how a home is meant to be lived in.
Background
Jessie’s perspective on design was shaped early by growing up in a home where creativity and making were part of daily life. With an artist for a mother and a father skilled in construction and problem-solving, she developed an appreciation for both expressive design and technical precision.
From an early age, she was immersed in how homes come together — observing renovations, understanding materials, and learning how decisions at the foundation level influence everything that follows.
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.
