OUR FIRM
Missi Youngblood, Principal Designer, CEO
“Design matters, inside and out!”
Helping her father build and renovate homes for resale and investment while growing up, Missi Youngblood developed a passion for design. Realizing that professional success hinged on education, she studied interior design, received her degree from Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia and was hired as a commercial designer with a turn-key Atlanta firm upon graduation.
After a few successful career-building years in Atlanta and South Carolina, she relocated to Florida. From 2002 through 2009 she owned The Dream Home Coach in historic Old Englewood Village. Serving clients from Sarasota to Boca Grande, including the Keys, she worked with developers and builders as well as individual homeowners and investors.
In 2009 she returned to her home state of South Carolina and continued her design work from the South Carolina coast to the North Carolina mountains until her return to Venice.
Her work has been recognized by Sarasota Magazine, SRQ magazine and South Carolina Homes & Gardens magazine. Missi is a member of the Interior Design Society (IDS) and has won numerous awards in international design competitions.
Jessica Singer, Lead Designer
Jessica happened across her talent naturally after managing personal remodel/build projects and being summoned by friends and family.
With her unique background in event coordinating and then 15 years in marketing and advertising, she brings a professional and creative approach to what we do at Missi & Co.
Jessica is techy, organized, and has an eye for design … a rare combination!
Besh Fleeman, Business Manager
Besh has built her experience ‘behind the scenes’ over the last seven years working in hotel management. Missi and Besh are a dynamic mother-daughter duo!
Besh’s superpower is being organized and detail-oriented when it comes to scheduling, invoicing, procurement and order tracking so the design team can stay focused on their creative process.
Kelsey George, Junior Designer
Kelsey was born and raised in Western New York and received a degree in Interior Design from Alfred State College in Alfred, NY. She brings knowledge of structural design and has experience with space planning and material selections for new construction homes.
