Hey, I’m Jess Bergeron
Interior designer, Ops Strategist, and Protector of your investment.
One designer. Two disciplines. Zero guesswork.
Residential & Hospitality Design + Ops Strategy — Upstate, NY
The decisions made before construction begins determine everything that follows. We bring design clarity to renovations, custom new builds, and hospitality spaces — so the vision is locked before the build begins, and every dollar works harder.
ABOUT THE COTTAGE ON KINGSLEY
Design is only half of what we do. Strategy is the other.
I work with homeowners, builders, and hospitality concepts who are ready to invest intentionally — and want a result that holds aesthetically, functionally, and operationally for years to come.
My approach begins well before the first wall goes up or the first guest walks in. That means working through layouts, materials, atmosphere, and operations while there's still room to make changes without cost penalties.
Because a beautiful space that doesn't function — for how you live or how you serve — isn't a finished space. It's an expensive lesson.
Our Services
Residential Design
For homeowners building or renovating with intention. We design spaces that feel deeply personal, hold their value, and support the way you actually live.
Hospitality Design
For restaurant owners, boutique hotel operators, and experience-driven brands. We design environments that feel effortless to the guest and intuitive to the people running them.
Trade Partnerships
We collaborate closely with custom home builders, architects, and GCs from early concept through final install — bringing design decisions upstream so your build timeline stays clean.
See The Work.
Every project begins with a problem to solve and ends with a space that couldn't belong to anyone else.
TESTIMONIALS
"I had pinned a million things and was completely overwhelmed. Jessica took my multitude of ideas and streamlined them into functional, timeless designs for our kitchen and bathrooms — and worked seamlessly with our builders throughout. I am so grateful to come home and stand in our exquisite kitchen every single day." — Jennifer, Client & Homeowner
Start with The Planning Desk
This is where every successful project begins, whether its home-or hospitality, we begin with clarity.
In this working session, we map out your layout, materials, and overall direction — so you can move into construction with clarity and confidence.
This step prevents costly mistakes, miscommunication with contractors, and last-minute decisions.
By the time your project starts, most decisions are already locked in — this ensures they’re the right ones.
How To Work Together:
1. The Planning Desk — Pre-Construction Intensive: The first step for any renovation, new build, or hospitality refresh. Before construction begins, we define layout, materials, direction, and a plan your contractor can actually build from- credited toward full service.
2. Full-Service Interior Design: From concept through installation, managing every design decision for a cohesive, elevated result. Residential and hospitality projects welcome.
3. Commercial & Hospitality Design: Experience-driven spaces that balance aesthetics with operational flow.
