About Jessie
A multi-disciplinary creative, real estate investor, entrepreneur, wife, and mom of three, Jessie is a passionate associate architect and designer, leaving the commercial industry to create her own company in 2020.
Raised by laborers and landscapers, she was taught the practicalities of the trade but then trained as a commercial architect, merging the two life experiences into her designs.
She spends her days surrounded by animals, art, color, books, and a husband and son who always keep her laughing. She is a conqueror of spreadsheets. She loves to travel, eat and experience the world. She is also very good at tripping on flat surfaces. It’s a real gift.

Designer vs. Contractor
A clear, no-fluff breakdown every homeowner should understand before starting design or construction.
Planning a renovation or new home can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re not sure who is responsible for what. Designers and contractors often work closely together, but their roles are very different, and misunderstanding those roles can lead to confusion, delays, or costly mistakes.
This free, one-page guide clearly outlines the typical responsibilities of a designer vs. a contractor during the:
- Design & estimating phase
- Permitting phase
- Construction phase
Whether you’re in the early planning stages or already talking to builders, this guide will help you:
- Understand who leads each phase
- Ask better questions
- Set clearer expectations
- Feel more confident moving forward
