Joleesa Escamilla brings years of experience in commercial, hospitality, and renovation projects. Originally pursuing a degree in architecture, she discovered her true passion was designing interiors— the spaces where people interact, connect, and live. From schematic design to material selection and client presentations, Joleesa enjoys collaborating with clients and project teams to create thoughtful, functional, and inspiring spaces that bring design to life that are both beautiful and functional.

 

Outside of design, Joleesa is an avid fan of film and pop culture. Whether she's watching the latest Hollywood release, discovering an art house film, or attending anime and comic conventions. Her appreciation for visual storytelling, art, and popular culture continually inspires her creative perspective and design approach.
