About

I’m Jessica Modzel, a senior home textile designer with 18+ years of experience creating seasonal textiles and consumer products. I excel at leading end-to-end design and product development—from concept through production—and turning trend, color, and consumer insights into commercially compelling assortments.

I bring deep expertise in custom fabric development, global factory collaboration, and sourcing, with a sharp eye for market-relevant design and execution. I thrive in cross-functional teams, translating forecasts into tangible products that perform on shelves and online.
