About Us

At The Designed Itinerary, we understand that life moves fast, but your travel escapes shouldn't have to.

Founded by a woman who knows the value of time and the importance of balance, we specialize in upgrading your dreams to an exciting journey that lets you truly take a break when the point of your trip is to do just that! 

 Our mission is to transform your getaway dreams into seamless planning for jaw-dropping experiences, so you can kick back, relax, and savor the luxury you deserve.

 Let’s make the next getaway the best story you’ll ever tell!

I’d often spend half a trip waiting for a table, tickets, an idea, anything with my nose buried in my phone while googling options, and missing the beauty unfolding all around me.  

Because my “winging it” vacations were filled with so much wasted time, and wasted money. 

Going from being go-with-the-flow to Type A was just one of the curveballs motherhood has thrown at me, but I’m so glad it did—because it set me on the path to founding The Designed Itinerary.  

When I look back at the trips I took pre-personality shift, I now cringe. 

I’m not your typical “travel planner”—because, well, I didn’t start out as a planner at all. I’ve always been more of a “we will figure it out when we get there” kind of girl. 

Always one to embrace the unknown, always okay with just seeing how things will shake out. That is, until… I had kids.  

Approaching life—let alone a vacation—without a plan, with more than just myself to think about now?

Yeah, not going to happen. 

Founder & Luxury Travel Advisor

Freedom to be present in the moment.

Freedom to go off the beaten path—because you have one to stray from.

Freedom to explore fully, without having to worry about the where, when, what, and how of it all.  

Today, I fiercely believe that having a plan =

having more freedom.

And, when you work with The Designed Itinerary, freedom from having to plan a single detail yourself.

Travel takes you away from “the busy” and allows you to embrace what you need most right now.

As a wife, mother, and goal-oriented go-getter myself, I absolutely know what it’s like to feel busy to the bone. There are never enough hours in the day to dedicate to everything, and everyone you love. 

 Whether that’s meaningful time together as a family, a way overdue trip with your girlfriends, or a reconnecting escape with your spouse. 

That’s where travel comes in.

They’re thoughtful, strategic, and tailored to the multiple personalities you’re bringing together and the overall mood you want to instill.

And I’m willing to bet they’re exactly what you need.  

The well-designed journeys I have shared with my own family and friends have been some of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Now, I want to share that joy and meaning with you—through a Designed Itinerary of your own.  

The luxury trips I plan for my clients today are never rigid—

Let’s Get Started

My favorite trips (so far!) 

NAPA, CA

To celebrate 10 years with my wonderful husband, I planned a luxury getaway including private tours of vineyards, eating at Michelin star restaurants, and relaxing at our five-star accommodations. 

TURKS & CAICOS

We took a big group of friends and filled 5 days with activities such as snorkeling, horseback riding on the beach, and many nights of laughing (some while singing karaoke).  

NASHVILLE

I brought together 13 girlfriends for an ah-mazing 40th birthday weekend, complete with spa time, line dancing, a private celebratory dinner and … a burlesque show. No one could remove their smiles for weeks after. Memories were most certainly made. 

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO

We took five families—12 kids, 10 adults—and the biggest complaint was that the trip wasn't long enough. Days of skiing, nights around a large table playing games, soaks in natural springs, and snowmobiling through some of the most beautiful landscapes. A core memory trip all around.  

Kind Notes from Clients:

Traveling with kids is stressful, but Jessica’s planning services made it effortless. 

She provided a clear itinerary, handled all the details, and was available for assistance if needed. I finally got to enjoy quality time with my family without worrying about logistics.

- Brett Grider, VP Wealth Advisor

Jessica planned a romantic getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was perfect.

My husband and I were especially impressed by the exclusive and private experiences provided by her trusted partners. The thoughtful details throughout the trip made it truly unforgettable!

- Anna Cooper, Director of Institutional Health Systems 

Jessica tailored every detail of our group trip to our preferences, from accommodations to activities, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience. 

We were able to fully immerse ourselves in creating memories without a single worry. Already planning our next adventure with her!

- Mary Watts, Small Business Owner

“Winging it”?
Not on my watch.

Because you deserve a vacation curated with care—and only with you in mind.
