Hi there! My name is Jenna Leigh Riess—interior stylist, home stager, and founder of the finishing touch design and staging. I am so happy that you are here!

I believe that great design is not about how much you spend—it is about creating a safe & heartwarming space that feels like home.

Since graduating with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Event Planning from Marist College, I have worked in the home retail world specifically in buying and merchandising roles for companies including but not limited to Macy’s Backstage Home, Nordstrom Rack Home, and West Elm.

My corporate experience spans both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce and has always centered around one goal: finding the best product at the best price. I have built assortments, forecasted trends, and curated home collections that are beautiful, functional, and accessible—all of which translates directly into my design philosophy today.

I have designed and staged everything from cozy city apartments to family homes to Airbnb rentals as well as wedding receptions. Whether it’s choosing the perfect paint color or styling a bookshelf just right, I am here to help you bring it all together with creativity, intention, and that special final touch.

When I’m not designing, you will find me with my incredible wife, Amalia, and my adorable mini goldendoodle, Nutella! I love to travel (which is a constant source of design inspiration for me), spend time with my wonderful friends and family, and capture beautiful moments through photography. I’m always creating mood boards, exploring new foods, going to concerts, and filling my life—and home—with positivity, laughter, and a warm heart.

Let’s make your space feel like you—and have a blast doing it. Together.
