Jessi Economos

Founder, Owner, Interior Designer

As a designer, I’m so privileged to have the honor of transforming houses into homes. Having a hand in developing such a sacred space is something I do not take lightly. Home is the backdrop and foundation for your life’s most precious stories and memories.

Design isn’t just my occupation, it’s also my joy.

John Economos

Owner, Director of Sales & Feedback

How the hell did I get here? After graduating from the Ivy College of Business, and working ten collective years at Principal Financial Group and Bâton Global, I’m now nurturing an interior design business and a team of lovely ladies, including my kick-ass-and-kind wife Jessi. Our team is awesome, but we’re not perfect. Leading a business is exciting, but takes a lot of work. It’s humbling given my family’s history, but sentimental given my dad passed away just before Jeid Studio took off.

Paris Springer

Director of Project Success

As Director of Project Success at Jeid Studio, I'm dedicated to ensuring our clients have an exceptional and stress-free experience from concept to completion. I thrive on navigating the complexities of interior design projects and make it my goal to allow our designers to focus on their creative vision.

Rebecca Hutchison

Accounting & Logistics Director

While I am not a designer, I have grown up around and have always been drawn to creative environments and people.  I tackle the "number crunching" here at Jeid Studio, along with several other operations based tasks that help to keep the creative juices flowing for everyone here and I always strive to provide the best customer service experience for our clients.

Jessica Russell

Showroom Director

With a background in operations and a love for interior design, I’m all about making things in the showroom run smoothly and efficiently. Whether it’s helping clients find exactly what they need or streamlining things behind the scenes, I thrive at creating meaningful connections and adding purpose to the process. I love being in a space where creativity and structure come together—to me, that’s where the magic happens.

Lilli Brown

Marketing Director

As the marketing director at Jeid Studio, my mission is to create marketing that really connects with people – the kind that stands out and makes a difference. I love pushing the creative envelope and always aim for the stars! I'm a big believer in putting my heart into everything I do. Authenticity is super important to me, so I always try to create stuff that feels real and relatable. Creativity is in my DNA, and I bring that passion to every project, whether it's work or something I'm doing for fun. Finding the perfect marketing strategy is a lot like finding the perfect pair of vintage Levi's – it takes time, dedication, and a good eye, and that's what I'm all about!

Tara Carter

Interior Designer

I've been an interior designer for over a decade now, and honestly, I can't see myself doing anything else! Every day brings something new, and I feel like I'm always learning and growing as a designer. The best part is getting to know my clients, figuring out what they're all about, and then creating a space that totally blows their minds. It's more than just making things look pretty, you know? It's about creating a vibe, a feeling that makes people happy and comfortable. When I can design a space that truly improves someone's life, well, that's when I know I've nailed it.

Cait Croston

Interior Designer, NCIDQ

Our home is a vital part of each of our lives. It’s where we start and end each day, where life milestones are met, meaningful conversations are made and where our bodies pause to rest from the busy world around us. As an interior designer, my goal is to help create spaces that allow these moments to happen in a truly beautiful way. Through technical space planning and material selections, my brain lives and thrives in the details. I strive for each client to have that truly authentic moment of excitement when they get to see their home come to life! 

Marah Schmitz

Interior Designer

Interior Design has always been an interest of mine, as I was the kid who sketched floor plans and organized my bedroom for fun. This passion combined with my innate desire to help people led me to obtain my B.A. in Interior Design from UNI (Go Panthers!). As a designer, I am inspired by my favorite quote (see below) when working with clients. I place importance on ensuring that I make clients feel supported, educated, and knowledgeable in the design choices they are making. I find great joy in helping clients achieve their dream spaces.

MaryKate Ferlmann

Interior Designer

From a very young age, I have enjoyed the arts and anything creative. I also found myself constantly rearranging my room, and adoring the parts of the children’s books or movies with unique interiors shown. Interior design lets me harness both my passions! I have always seen design as my “super-power”, being able to walk into a space and envision a whole new design in my head never gets old! I realize the importance of our surroundings, and the impact our home has on our lives. I love creating those special places for people, and making a difference in their lives and the way they live them.

Hannah Pitz

Interior Designer & Drafter, NCIDQ

My core instinct is always telling me to help others. Choosing a career in design has allowed me to hone in on my strengths and help others through a creative outlet. While seeing the finished product is oftentimes the most rewarding part of the design process, I find myself thinking about how we got there. I think about the many eyes that looked over the drawings and carefully procured the correct finishes that fit the client's needs. I ponder the many sketches and ideas that were discussed before finding the absolute best solution. I consider the hours of conversations that lead up to making the final decisions. Good design doesn't happen overnight and isn't accomplished by oneself alone. It takes a collective group of hardworking individuals with a passion to help others which I am honored to be a part of.

Gracie Stark

Interior Designer & Drafter

I have always been a “right-brain thinker”, having the itch to utilize creativity wherever I can in life. I am passionate about transforming spaces into aesthetically pleasing and functional environments. I also thoroughly enjoy implementing new and different design styles into my work. My goal is always to develop spaces that best express and compliment one’s lifestyle and personality through collaboration. My favorite aspect of being an interior designer is that there are infinite innovative design solutions that aid in promoting well-being, keeping each day stimulating and inspiring!

Noelle Pendroy

Interior Designer

In my eyes, a home is like a blank canvas used to orchestrate a place to reflect unique personalities and desires. Since a young age, I have always been captivated by the art of interior design. As a design assistant, I find immense joy in unraveling the layers of the industry and understanding how every aspect contributes to creating a stunning place. I’m excited to spend my summer assisting the Jeid Studio team in ensuring that interiors are a reflection of the best of life.

Katie Kilkenny

Interior Designer

I originally got into interior design my senior year of high school, after thinking I was going to be an elementary school teacher all my life. I was truly inspired by the creative process of filling a room with color and life. I believe everyone deserves a functional space to ground their roots down to create unforgettable memories. I am very excited for this summer to absorb all parts of the interior design industry! 

Conner Rittenhouse

Interior Designer

Interior design has been a lifelong passion, sparking in childhood with sidewalk chalk floor plans and endless dollhouse rearrangements, and later blossoming into ambitious bedroom makeovers (thanks, Mom and Dad!).  I approach floor plans and space planning like solving an engaging puzzle, finding true talent in the ability to craft spaces that are not only beautiful but also highly functional, deeply impacting how we experience our environments, is what truly drives me.
