About Jane Phillips

Rebecca Jane Phillips brings a creative eye to interior design that most designers simply can't claim. Before she ever specified a fabric or chose a paint tone, she was a successful real estate agent in Texas, staging homes in gated communities near the Byron Nelson golf tournament grounds. That work taught her something most design schools skip: a room has to feel right to a stranger in under sixty seconds.

Jane's path from real estate to full-time design ran straight through the entertainment world. She performed in New York City and Los Angeles, toured with Bob Hope's USO show, appeared on stages in Thailand for Miss Universe and Miss Thailand pageants alongside Beverly Sassoon, and served as an LA Clippers dancer in the Coliseum era when performers sat courtside and celebrities like Jack Nicholson filled the front rows. Each stop sharpened her instincts for scale, atmosphere, and the way a space makes people feel.

What connects those years on stage to her work designing interiors today is a single question she keeps asking: what will make someone glad they walked in? Jane's answer usually involves something personal, a family heirloom placed with intention, her son Josh's artwork hung as seriously as any gallery piece. She's also served as a fitness trainer for the Beverly Hills Police and Fire Department, a role that reflects the same hands-on, show-up energy she brings to every client project.

Jane Phillips remains a recognizable presence in the design world precisely because her story is not a straight line. Raising her son in Texas while staying connected to the creative communities she built in LA gave her a perspective that's hard to manufacture. She saw Matt Stafford play before his Super Bowl win and watched Clayton Kershaw pitch before his World Series ring. Life, in her view, is best designed with room for surprise. That philosophy shows up in every interior she signs her name to.
