Jessica Kain Barton

Founder, Principal Designer

Jessica has loved design since she would sneak her mother’s home magazines as a child. In 2019, she decided to turn her life-long dream of opening her own design firm into a reality. Known for her elevated layered spaces and eye for detail, she hones in on every aspect of the design process so no element is forgotten. She understands that home looks different to every person and nothing is more rewarding to her than helping clients design a space that gives them all the happy feels when they walk through the door. When she is not sifting through textiles, she is chasing around her adorable toddler Duncan.

The Story of Kathryn

Jessica was named after her Grandmother Kathryn. The mother of nine who passed away young was always a bit of a mystery. There never seemed to be much understanding of who she was, what she enjoyed and her aspirations.

Decades after she died, her Aunt found several pieces of art that had been in a barn on the property where she raised her children. Hidden from sight, what was found was magical. Stunning fashion drawings splashed with color and life.

This drawing in particular was given to Jessica. The woman in the sketch looks so much like Kathryn. It almost feels like a self-portrait. Sometimes we wonder if this was how she envisioned herself. She grew up in a time when many women didn’t feel free to be themselves and quieted their creativity and personalities.

We named the firm J Kathryn to give tribute to her.
