Luxury Yorkshire Interior Design Jessica Kathryn, Digby, Chief Vibe Officer.

Digby

chief vibe officer

Resident four-legged team member and official Chief Vibe Officer, Digby takes his role very seriously (mainly by napping in sunbeams and inspecting soft furnishings for maximum cosiness). He’s partial to a good rug, approves of all sofa choices, and ensures the studio’s mood is always relaxed and welcoming. When he’s not overseeing tea breaks, you’ll find him adding a touch of paw-sonality to client meetings.

why we love what we do - in their words

"It was really great to work with someone who had technical knowledge, but who also exceeded our expectation of what we thought was possible with such a tight brief, we will definitely use Jessica again for any future projects."

Ian, Beverley

"We first met Jessica at our home when she visited to get specific details regarding style and dimensions for our bathroom. She was both friendly and professional and had clearly recognised our issues even before her visit, the images and ideas she brought with her were exactly what we were looking for. A couple of days later we received a number of options including intricate (but stylish) pipe connections, hard to source radiators and a combination of the two. During her visit Jessica had clearly taken note of the overall style of our home, the options not only complimented the rooms they were in but reflected our house generally."

– Amanda, Walkington
