Jessica Astran | owner, principal
In 2012, when Jessica Astran founded Urban Suburban Design, she knew she wanted to focus on commercial design in conjunction with her extensive experience in model homes. The driving force behind owning her own company is that it allows her to personally engage with her clients in a collaborative and interactive fashion. Jessica’s goal is to provide innovative designs that are inspired by the style and needs of her clients.
Before starting her own company, Jessica worked for 28 years as a senior designer at Builders’ Design, Inc., a national award winning model home design firm, where she earned numerous industry awards for her work. Jessica received her Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a concentration in Design, from Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina. She is currently an active member of ASID.
