Studio J. Kessler Interior Design - Phoenix, Arizona

Stephanie Rufo

Between an intense work schedule and life in general, I had been living in a new NYC studio apartment for almost 5 months and still had unpacked boxes sitting on the floor and mismatched furniture pieces that didn’t make sense in this space. With Jackie’s help, it not only looks like I now live in this apartment, but it is more “me” than any other space I have ever lived in. Not to mention that knowing the importance of needing to finally feel settled after all that time of living in an unfinished apartment, Jackie got me in check within just a month - working with me to understand my vision, developing a mood board that genuinely made me feel excited of how my home could look, and designing the space with careful measurement so that it maximized functionality without sacrificing style.

I was so impressed by Jackie's process, creativity, professionalism, and overall encouragement to really go for it even when I was doubting what I ultimately wanted. The end result was all of my eclectic, traditional, shabby-chic dreams coming true in a way that I never could have put together without her.

She's the best of the best, so if you want to get your home done and "done right" the first time, she's your girl!

As someone who thinks she can do it all, I was reluctant to hire an interior designer. But when we bought our historic condo in Boston’s South End, it came with some interesting quirks that called for a professional. Jackie was able to come into our condo and give us multiple layouts that I never would have thought of myself! She really worked with me to point me in the right direction for rooms I had a clear vision for, and then also create a from scratch design on rooms where I was clueless. Whether you are starting from nothing, or just need help figuring out the last little pieces, I can’t recommend Jackie enough!

Jacqueline was super flexible and able to quickly jump into my apartment renovation, answering questions from my contractor and thinking of smart solutions. She has a great eye and sourced amazing, practical pieces within my budget– offering helpful advice on where to spend and ways to save. She made the process of furnishing the space so much less overwhelming with her organization and vision! Would definitely recommend working with her on any size project! ?

I had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline and her team on our cocktail bar and food service storefront in Brooklyn, New York. From the initial concept discussions to the final touches, they demonstrated an unparalleled dedication to creating a space that perfectly suited our style and preferences. They were not only receptive to our ideas but brought forth a wealth of expertise and uniqueness that elevated the overall design. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend SJK to anyone seeking a professional who is talented, detail-oriented, and a joy to work with.
