Jess Cooney is a Massachusetts-based interior designer celebrated for her ability to merge timeless architecture with relaxed, modern living. Working primarily in the historic homes of the Berkshires, Jess has developed a reputation for creating spaces that feel both deeply grounded and effortlessly functional. With a background shaped by a busy family life - three children, countless visiting relatives, and a home that always seems full - she has a unique understanding of how design can help life feel calmer, more fluid, and more intentional.
Storage and flow are central to her philosophy, ensuring that homes can expand to host a bustling Thanksgiving gathering or contract back to an intimate retreat for two without losing a sense of tranquility.
