Jared Sherman Epps created JSE Design, a luxury residential and hospitality interior design studio, in 2005. Immersed in high-end projects in New York and overseas for over two decades, Jared has developed a reputation as one of New York’s preeminent interior designers. As owner and CEO of JSE Design, Jared has overseen all aspects of each project, ensuring optimal form and function. With the combination of hotel and high-end residential clients, Jared has seen the luxury crossover of the two. “People want their hotel to feel like home and their home to feel like a hotel," says Jared.

Throughout the past two decades, clients, friends and family have asked for home décor and accessory recommendations. While happy to make suggestions for sheets, towels and accessories, it was difficult to find products up to the JSE quality standard that were also sustainable and/or renewable. Recognizing a need, Jared launched JSE Home: a curated collection of home essentials focused on sustainability and luxury. Believing that a scent makes a home, the collection’s debut product is a luxury soy wax candle. With JSE Home, Jared brings his expertise in luxury design to create exquisite, eco-conscious products that elevate everyday living.

Driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and the chance to collaborate with her brother, Jody joined forces to help launch JSE Home: addressing a need for quality luxury and eco-conscious home essentials in the market.
