#040 Jessica Bataille, Interior Designer & Founder - Creating Magic Moments
I am thrilled to have Jessica Bataille as my guest this week. She is an incredible entrepreneur and dear friend. Jessica Bataille has been in the world of interior design for more than two decades. She was born in Holland, to a Dutch father and a Lebanese mother, and moved to Jávea, Spain when she was 12 which has been her base and inspiration ever since. She is a lover of the beauty of simplicity and master of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Her career in interior design began in 1996 when she was a salesperson in a small shop in Pedreguer. In our conversation Jessica shares how she took just one tiny corner of that shop and made it her own. She got noticed for her signature style when she bucked against the design trends of the day and did something unexpected and fresh selling Mexican furniture that was vibrant and cohesive with her signature mediterranean style. She also shares a fun story about going the extra mile for these early customers that really set her apart. She left 2 years later, in 1998, to establish her first shop and has grown astronomically ever since. Her company has grown into several brand divisions and to 50 employees. What really stands out to me in this conversation is not only her passion for her work and making the dreams of her clients come true - but sharing this with her larger community through her sustainable recycling and upcycling materials sourced from local artisans. She is truly mission, vision and value driven! And her passion is contagious! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ann-hiatt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ann-hiatt/support
