Who we are

At Oak and Olive, we believe that great design is about more than how a space looks – it’s about how it makes you feel.

Led by Interior Designer Jess Orie, our studio brings 13 years of industry experience to your home. Having spent a significant portion of her career leading major commercial design projects, Jess brings a calm, detail driven approach, supported by technical documentation rarely seen within residential interior design.

Servicing Northern Sydney and the Southern Highlands, we combine this big-project discipline with a deep appreciation for home to create spaces that feel lived in, loved, and uniquely yours. We take the time to understand how you live and what matters most to you.

Jess is known for blending styles with ease, layering natural textures and organic details that bring warmth and individuality to every project. Her design philosophy is simple: a home should be a blessing, not a burden – a space that inspires, comforts, and truly reflects the people who live in it.

Whether you’re refreshing a single room or transforming your entire home, Oak and Olive is here to guide you every step of the way – with creativity, care, attention to detail and a genuine passion for beautiful, functional living.
