MEET OUR TEAM
Jessica Ashley
Jessica is the Founder and Lead Designer at Jessica Ashley Designs. After growing an award winning luxury weddings and events firm in the Washington DC Metro area with commemorated designs published in Martha Stewart, Washingtonian Magazine, Viva Tysons Magazine, Middleburg Life Magazine, The Knot, and more, Jessica knew design was her passion and top strength. After years of dreaming of starting an interior design business, the pandemic became the catalyst. Friends and family began asking for tips and tricks to improve the interiors of their homes and before we knew it we were rocking and rolling building our portfolio and accepting new clients. Inspired by the world of fashion and art history, we design intentionally to be as unique and fabulous as our clients. No two interiors are the same! We believe in working smarter and more efficiently to create ease and joy throughout the process. People come in as clients but always leave as friends. We know that a design plan must be perfectly executed with grace and hard work. Jessica grew up in Florida and moved to Virginia to attend James Madison University. She is married to her college sweetheart (Go Dukes!) and mama to two daughters, one baby boy, and two rescue pups! As a cancer survivor, she works each day to find gratitude in all things big or small. Questions? Ask away!
Sarah Davenport
Meet Sarah Davenport, Executive Assistant and Junior Designer. Sarah is an avid adventure seeker, always hiking and outdoors! She is our email, spreadsheet, contracts (and more) guru.
