JULES MCALEESE
Jules’s work is rooted in crafting timeless, layered spaces that feel lived-in, loved, and effortlessly reflect the essence of those who inhabit them.
With a passion for transforming spaces, Jules began her journey as a residential interior designer in 2016 taking on projects for friends and family. In 2022, she officially opened her own studio. Jules brings her unique vision and expertise to clients seeking spaces that truly resonate with their lifestyles and personalities.
Jules’s approach to each project is emphasized by a genuine commitment to understanding her client’s needs, desires, and distinct style preferences. With meticulous attention to every detail of the design process, Jules thrives in creatively problem-solving spatial, material, and budgetary constraints. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, her goal is to deliver her client’s dream home with functionality, purpose, and style.
Growing up in a family full of interior designers, antique collectors, contractors, and furniture builders, Jules brings a rich and diverse perspective to her craft.
As a mother of two under two (and a golden retriever pup), she understands the importance of creating homes that cater to the practical needs of families while maintaining an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.
Beyond her career in design, she's also a published author who has been featured in multiple publications.
