Emilie Jacob - Founder
Hi, my name is Emilie, and I am a French shopping and interiors addict... I set up Stella + the Stars’ Le Blog in April 2015 after retraining to reinvent myself as an interior stylist with KLC School of Design in London. The inspiration behind the name is my 6-year-old daughter Stella who has been my all-round muse and the catalyst of my career change from the corporate world.
On the daily, I run Stella + the Stars, which has evolved over the past six years into a fully fledge boutique interior design studio based in Dubai - from managing our social media channels, working on our business development strategies and project managing personally all our residential projects, there is never a dull moment. I put together all the designs for our residential projects, while liaising with suppliers and sourcing the coolest home decor products in town. I genuinely love meeting new clients and finding out how I can help them achieve their interior goals. You know the saying, ‘Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.’? Well I am the perfect example of this, as cheesy as it sounds. My favourite part of any home styling projects is getting the feedback from our clients once we’ve transformed their space. In my spare time, I am a serial home faffer (come to my house long enough and you could end up styled on a shelf yourself!), a fitness fanatic and a mum to Stella, Teddy and Celeste. I am obsessed with pink neon signs, colourful home decor and anything with an animal print…
Fun facts
I am a fully certified PADI scuba diver, I started my career as a medical journalist reporting on drugs and clinical trials, and I speak three languages (you can guess the first two… and add Spanish).
