Meet Jessica Sanderson, the New Design Lead

New Leaf Builders is proud to announce the promotion of Jessica Sanderson to Lead Designer for the Charleston, South Carolina division. Since joining the team, Jessica has brought a fresh perspective and a wealth of style to the Design Studio, helping clients bring their visions to life through her unique blend of creativity and attentiveness. With a background in high fashion and global boutique management, Jessica’s design expertise makes her an ideal leader for New Leaf’s design efforts.

In her new role, Jessica will focus on strengthening relationships with vendors, growing the New Leaf brand, and ensuring that each client receives personalized care throughout the home-building process. Her collaborative spirit and meticulous attention to detail have already made her an invaluable asset, and now she’ll lead the charge in delivering beautiful, innovative design solutions.

Jessica Sanderson’s predecessor, Jess Cote—whom many of our homebuyers have worked with over the last 3.5 years—is transitioning to run Sapling full-time. Sapling, a bespoke home furnishing line that began under the New Leaf umbrella, has grown from designing model homes to full-home installations. As Jess Cote steps into this exciting new chapter, New Leaf is excited to see Sapling’s offerings expand even further.
