Jessica Mille graduated from the École Spéciale d’Architecture and began her career in the healthcare and medical-social sector — a field where technical precision and sensory attention go hand in hand. This formative experience, particularly with the agency Brunet Saunier, taught her to design complex and demanding spaces in which light, materials and circulation directly impact well-being.
In 2020, she established her own studio and shifted her focus towards more festive living environments, often connected to the world of hospitality. She now works for clients including Noir Coffee Shop, Matsuri, SkinThera, All Love Journey and Cuvée Noire, and collaborates with groups such as Gruppomimo, designing restaurants across France.
Her approach draws from each brand’s DNA, always extended through an immersive, narrative imagination. She enjoys playing with codes, reinterpreting references — from Art Nouveau to Tokyo Pop or 1970s California — and draws inspiration from the atmosphere of the neighbourhood in which each project is rooted.
Jessica works with a network of French artisans — ceramicists, master glassmakers, carpenters — to whom she entrusts a true creative role. In her own studio, she experiments with materials, colours and volumes like an artist, cultivating a bold aesthetic built on deliberate contrasts: pigmented resins, cement-tiled mosaics, sculpted marble and patinated wood.
What she seeks above all else is to imagine warm, tactile and expressive spaces that people love to return to. Interior architecture designed as an experience.
