Jessica Otte

Executive Editor, D Home, D Weddings

Jessica Otte is the executive editor of D Home and D Weddings. In 2006, she helped launch D CEO as its founding managing editor, and in the years since, she’s written about celebrities (ask her about her life-changing breakfast with Jon Hamm), travel, and too many fascinating locals to count. She has absolutely no willpower when it comes to unnecessary housewares, which is a hazard of her job. She lives in Lake Highlands with her husband, Charlie, and their three children.

At Home with Interior Designer Javier Burkle

Our homes say so much about us—whether we’re serious or playful, over-the-top or minimalistic—and their contents speak to our interests and idiosyncrasies. The same is true for those whose livelihoods are made making homes for others. We visited the eclectic and cozy Highland Park bungalow of one of our 2022 Best Designers and found it equally inspiring and revealing.
