Principal Designer Jessie Tate

BIO

Jessie Tate is the founder of CIËN, a Los Angeles–based interior design studio shaped by her life across Los Angeles, Sydney, New York, and London. These cities, especially her years in London, strengthened her appreciation for European architecture, history, and the quiet stories held within well-loved spaces — influences that continue to guide her work.

Before establishing CIËN five years ago, Jessie worked across fashion, prop styling, and interior styling. Together, these experiences developed her eye for texture, proportion, and craftsmanship, forming the foundation of her thoughtful and intuitive approach to design.

Jessie’s aesthetic blends European classicism with the relaxed warmth of California living. She gravitates toward natural materials, layered textures, and a gentle, harmonious palette — creating interiors that feel refined, comfortable, and enduring. Her work often weaves together timeless pieces with contemporary elements, resulting in spaces that feel collected, grounded, and deeply livable.

CIËN thrives in the design-build arena, where Jessie works closely with architects, contractors, and trades throughout the construction process. She values collaboration and clarity, ensuring that each detail—from early planning to final installation—supports a cohesive and well-executed vision.

Above all, Jessie’s work is guided by an appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and the way a home quietly shapes everyday life. She aims to create spaces that feel personal, welcoming, and thoughtfully made — places that will be lived in and loved for years to come.
