Approach

Jessica Hobson Design is a boutique interior design firm located in Summit, NJ. The sole focus is on creating beautiful, livable spaces that are deeply personal to the client.

Jessica grew up overseas, which instilled in her a lifelong love of travel and discovery. She draws on this as she curates interiors, mixing elements that make each space truly unique. The smallest touch can surprise and delight.

Professional Background

Jessica graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Art History and Studio Art. She spent 15 years in the fashion industry, working in both New York and London with lots of travel to Milan and Paris in between. This sparked a love of fabrics, color, pattern and a deep appreciation for how they interact. This knowledge translated easily to interior design. Jessica brings a discerning eye to selecting and editing elements for any space.

Jessica and her husband moved from their apartment in Manhattan to suburban Summit some years ago with two young boys in tow. Their home became a new creative outlet for Jessica and led to her strong interested in interior design. She went back to school for certification in the field and was mentored by a seasoned local design firm. This practical experience was invaluable, grounding Jessica’s aesthetic sensibility in the tricks of the trade.

Jessica launched her own firm in 2018. She has never looked back.

  • "Jessica made decorating and redesigning two homes at the same time both fun and seamless! She intuited what I was looking for and found the “perfect” pieces with ease and of course, great style! Jessica makes it all look easy and stress-free. My contractor let me know he didn’t like working with designers, until he met Jessica and appreciated her input and assistance. In fact, he has now recommended her to others! I would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. Hiring her was a cost and time savings and now I have two beautiful homes!"

  • "My husband and I hired Jessica for a large home renovation. Jessica has made this entire process so much easier and more organized. She is conscious of our budget and figured out our design vibes almost instantly. She's open and honest on where to put your money vs. where you can save. She's got amazing taste and works what the client wants into the space. She has vision and is more importantly able to share it so that clients like me who don't have vision do! Jessica has been a pleasure to work with and we can't wait to see our finished project because it's looking unreal!"

  • "We have been working with Jessica for over four years now and she has really helped our house become a home. From helping pick a single piece to finish off a room to assisting through our large renovation, we can't imagine designing our interiors without her. She also has an innate talent to pull it all together and can offer a hi-low offering, which personalizes our decor to fit us and our budget, while pushing us past our comfort zone to try something a bit unique for the space."

  • "Jessica is an absolute pleasure to work with and an extremely talented designer. She's been a tremendous help as we tackle the (overwhelming-if-not-for-her) task of redoing several rooms in our house, helping with everything from layouts and furniture to wallpaper and fixtures. She's responsive, patient, has a great eye for both high- and lower-end pieces, and can work within almost any budget. We couldn't be happier with her work and look forward to our next project."

  • "Too many wonderful things to say about, Jessica! She just gets it. Her designs and aesthetic are functional, chic, and welcoming. She is great to work with and comes up with great ideas and really listens to your vibe - she doesn’t push anything on you. I can’t recommend her enough!"

  • "I would be completely lost without Jessica! When we moved to our home after years of living in apartments, we had an empty house. I was introduced to Jessica and started working with her immediately after. Her style and expertise has transformed my home and we could not be happier. She works with you on every detail while considering her client's personal style and taste. She is also honest and straightforward which is invaluable when deciding on furniture, wallpaper, paint color, etc. I cannot recommend Jessica enough."

  • "Jessica is an active listener - she works to understand my style and what is important to me. She provides options and listens to feedback, and is super collaborative as we make decisions together. She's very responsive and although I know she juggles a number of clients, I always feel like a priority."

    B. M.

  • "Jessica has an exceptional eye. She always impresses me with how she is able to use lighting, fixtures, and furniture to pull a room together and make it look aesthetically pleasing while also maintaining a comfortable vibe that works for an active, always on-the-go family."
