Jess has dedicated years to honing her skills in designing and furnishing high-end homes, from the rugged peaks of Montana to the serene lakes of the Northeast. Her goal is to create spaces that feel timeless and welcoming, serving the needs of her clients’ families for generations. With a rich family legacy in custom craftsmanship and her husband being a builder as well, she has a deep understanding of the building trade from an on-the-ground perspective. Jess frequently collaborates with her husband, Payde Stockman of Stockman Builders LLC, but also values working with other builders and tradespeople who share her commitment to integrity and high standards in every project.

Outside the studio, Jess enjoys the simple pleasures of life in the Lakes Region—spending summer days boating and swimming with her husband and two young children, and embracing winter with cross-country and downhill skiing after a fresh snowfall. At home in Tuftonboro, she and her husband love to cook together and often gather friends and family for relaxed, cozy moments.
