jess ultreras

senior interior designer

Jess found interior design through her first love: art. By combining an early interest in the fine arts with her predilection for rearranging things at home, Jess started on a path that led her to work for firms large and small. Having spearheaded complex projects and design across both expansive, global enterprises as well as boutique sectors, Jess specializes in translating advanced spatial problems into elegant, functional environments.

Outside of her interior design world, Jess is enjoying her many hobbies. These include meditation, enjoying the outdoors, sketching, photography, and doting on her three pets.
