Our story

Esteemed Living first came to life in 2022 as a side hustle for Jesse, while he was working full time as Construction Manager at Queensland Steel House Frames based in Brisbane. Craving more simplicity and freedom, Jesse and his wife Brianna decided to make the move back to Jesse's hometown of Yeppoon to be closer to family, friends and raise their little family more consciously with a slower paced lifestyle.

Jesse has always been a builder at heart—not just in his craft, but in the way he approaches life. A natural problem-solver, he thrives on a challenge, seeing every project as an opportunity to create something unique. Whether it’s designing a home that perfectly suits the landscape or adding thoughtful details that make a space more functional and practical, Jesse brings creativity, skill, and a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship to every build. When he’s not on-site, you’ll find him spending time with his family, camping, 4WDing, or soaking up the salty breeze at the beach.

 

With her background in marketing, communications, and public relations, Brianna is the storyteller behind the business. Brianna has spent many years helping other businesses and brands grow and connect with people in meaningful ways through social media, marketing events, digital advertising and one-to-one digital communications. However, Esteemed Living is more than a business—it’s personal. Brianna brings passion, strategy, and a creative touch to ensure every home Jesse builds is not just seen, but felt. With a passion for interior design, Brianna also helps clients choose their selections, ensuring they love every part of their home.

 

Together, with their two young children, Jesse and Brianna have built Esteemed Living from the ground up—fusing Jesse’s love for building with Brianna’s expertise in marketing to create a company that truly understands what makes a house a beautiful well-loved home.

 

We believe every home tells a story, and we take pride in making sure it’s one our clients will love for years to come. We are so excited to work with you and help your vision come to life.
