Jesse Jarrett, owner and designer, Emmaus, Penn.-based Jarrett Design, has been named to the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s (NKBA) Thirty Under 30 Class of 2022.

This prestigious award recognizes young professionals from all over the United States and Canada who stand out for passionately and brilliantly contributing to the kitchen and bath industry. Honorees are nominated by their peers and selected through a committee, and this program is designed to celebrate “the future rock stars of the kitchen and bath industry.” Jarrett and the rest of the class will be honored at the upcoming Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Orlando, Fla. on Feb. 8, 2022. 

“It’s an exciting honor to be welcomed into a network of inspiring designers contributing to the advancement of the kitchen and bath industry,” said Jarrett.

Jarrett was praised for jumping in with both feet to all aspects of the kitchen and bath industry by carefully studying all things related to design, educating himself in various software, delving into technology and construction aspects, keenly improving business practices and breaking sales records, as well as serving as the firm’s photographer and social media expert. Several of his projects have won awards and have been published. Jarrett also mentors students from the local community college’s NKBA-accredited program.

“As an engineer by education, I approach new design projects from a technical standpoint first and foremost,” said Jarrett. “I design spaces to incorporate the latest technology and accessories that fit the client’s unique lifestyle. I manage the construction phase, often communicating how these technologies are to be installed.

“My favorite homes tend to incorporate finishes that have stood the test of time and often come from nature. In the future, I would like to develop a product that reduces stress in the household.”
