OUR TEAM
Jess LaPinta
Principle designer Jess LaPinta finds the psychology of interior design to be an important aspect to her designs. She likes to work with each of her clients to find what speaks best to them and how to create a space that will help improve their wellbeing by how they use their new space.
Jess has been working in hospitality and corporate interiors for many years but her love of creating beautiful homes that people can be proud of and comfortable in is what gave her the drive to want to work in the residential field.
She has the ability to design high-design projects on a tight budget, or any budget. Jess has an Interior Design degree from Pratt Institute. She has worked on many residential jobs but also big exciting projects such as sourcing the furniture on the Chicago Google Headquarters office, and many boutique hotels across the United States.

TESTIMONIALS
“I contacted Jess a few months after we moved in to our new home. I wanted to update our 1980s home in to a more contemporary living space, but had no idea where to start and was feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Jess created a vision board for us that was spot on and included elements that I would not have thought of. Every idea and suggestion of hers is presented in a thoughtful way with respect to our comfort level and our budget. We are so, so happy with how things are coming together. She is not only a talented designer, but a great person as well. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jess is a pleasure to work with. She has offered us many great ideas and suggestions for our kitchen design that we would never have considered. Her wizardry with 3D rendering makes the space come to life on paper and I believe sets her apart from other designers. She is very easy going and never gets frustrated with the number of times I change my mind. She just does a new rendering so I can visualize my new thoughts. I would highly recommend working with Jess on any of your interior design projects.”
“For my first experience working with an interior designer, the match with Jess was PERFECT! By getting a grasp of my style profile, researching my aesthetic on Pinterest boards (and not just the boards dedicated to design, but clothing, travel and quotes too!) and actively listening, she was able to offer insights that showed me things I couldn’t see and validated the design choices I already made/liked.
Jess was professional, talented and addressed all of my questions, ideas and concerns. When she offered ideas that matched my design aspirations, but were outside of my design “comfort zone” she articulated her reasons for the risk, yet still offered up alternatives that fell within the “safety” zone for me. However, because of her honest and gentle nature, I accepted the riskier ideas with full trust in her expertise. Every time, the results were amazing!”
“Jess has helped us with updating our home including our family room, entry way and kitchen. Jess made good suggestions that I was hesitant about initially, but when I saw what the space would look like with computer renderings I was blown away and lost all reservations. I knew exactly what I was getting which made the whole experience so less stressful. We repeatedly get positive comments all the time about how beautiful the spaces Jess helped us to create are. I would highly recommend Jess as a designer.”
