Esme is always sourcing, drawing from a particular library gathered from markets and makers around the world, held until the space it belongs to appears. Behind it are relationships built over decades, with craftspeople and artisans whose work never surfaces in a showroom or a search.

We work in the honesty of natural materials, shown at their highest quality and left to speak for themselves. Nothing in excess. Restraint is the discipline, and knowing what to leave out is the harder part of the work. No two homes are alike, and nothing is repeated.

We manage the full scope, working directly with builders and architects, handling procurement and logistics, attending to each decision down to the silverware on the table. What reaches you is not the process, only the home at the end of it.

Clients come to us not just for taste, but for direction. We listen closely, read the patterns in how you live, and ask the questions that get beneath taste, translating your instincts into something deeply personal and distinctly yours. A home that feels like you, even if you could not have imagined it on your own.

Our process is guided and thorough, built to uncover how you want to live and carry it through every decision. The phases move in sequence, though in practice they overlap.

If you would like to inquire about our services, please email us and include a description and/or location of your property, your design needs and your budget where available. 

HOW WE WORK

The image features white cursive text on a black background that reads "Meet Kimberly Dean."

Kimberly, originally from Encinitas, CA, has called Jackson, WY home since 2015. She has been actively involved in the interior design industry since 2007, earning her master's degree in Interior Architecture and Design in 2009. Her design aesthetic is significantly influenced by her interests in contemporary art, architecture, craftsmanship, tradition, travel, and nature.

She is the founder, Principal Interior Designer, and Creative Director of Esme, a venture established in 2025 following the closure of Maison Studio, a successful design firm she co-directed for nine years. Kimberly's approach blends both traditional and contemporary styles, reflecting her belief that exceptional design is timeless. Her work is distinguished by a subtle application of color, a refined equilibrium between classic and modern elements, and innovative functionality. Kimberly believes that the physical and spiritual quality of a space profoundly influences individual experiences, underscoring the significant impact of thoughtful design.
