Roxanne formed Essex House Interiors with the philosophy to design a space where clients can live their dream and lifestyle in an environment as “unique” as them. Designing is much like a puzzle; the result must be assembled to be functional, and aesthetically pleasing. We believe that a well thought out home is a home with layers and is assembled over time. Roxanne believes in educating the client in fundamental design elements and sustainability to help them achieve their dream while maintaining a healthy environment. Essex House brings you an inspired vision, allowing clients to develop complete confidence in the direction of the project. The attention to detail is the basis to providing extraordinary service to our clients.
Roxanne is involved in community service. Roxanne is on the Board of Directors of the Plainfield Chamber of Commerce, and a member and ambassador of the Yorkville Chamber of Commerce.
Roxanne received her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from the Art Institute.
