Kurrent Kitchen & Bath
Brooklyn, NY

What do designer handbags and high-end bathroom fixtures have in common? Jessica Medeiros, who majored in Communications and Psychology at the University of Arizona, has been wildly successful at selling both—the former during her time at New York-based designer Rebecca Minkoff and the latter now as a luxury sales specialist at Brooklyn-based upscale plumbing and fixtures showroom Kurrent, owned by Thirty Under 30 alumnus Jack Bernstein. Since joining the sales team in July 2020, Jessica has been especially successful in high-end residential sales, bringing in over $2.5 million. 

Her favorite part of her job? “Getting to use the creative side of my brain and being able to design really unique bathrooms for customers,” she says. And one of her latest projects—the exclusive new 8,000-square-foot Maxwell Social private club in Manhattan, which she collaborated on with founder David Litwak to curate luxurious fixtures—ranks among her favorites alongside a family home in Brooklyn. “Although designing kitchens and bathrooms is extremely fun, working with people who are kind and appreciative makes all the hard work worth it,” she explains.

Jessica describes her personality as “empathetic” and her personal design style as “eclectic,” noting, “I love using colors and mixing modern and traditional styles together. I also love mixing busy and contrasting prints!” A wannabe fashionista, she began honing her creative vision at age 11 when she was allowed to design her bedroom from scratch and chose bubble-gum pink walls, a giant white sleigh bed with matching white furniture and zebra-print bedding.

Aside from her passion for fashion, interior design, art and “learning French,” Jessica is also an avid runner who finished the New York Marathon in 2017. She lives with her nine-year-old Shih Tzu, Earl, and her fiancé, Micah, and the couple plan to marry in the South of France in June 2024. “I am obsessed with French culture,” says Jessica, who lived in Paris for several months. “And I am in love with the towns along the French Riviera. I love the food and the architecture, specifically the way all of the beautiful old chateaus look against the palm trees.” But Africa is wooing her, too, and her dream is to one day go on safari in the Serengeti.
