A bout Us

Joshua Bodjanac

FOUNDER, INTERIOR DESIGNER
Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design • (AIC)

I’m an old soul- a dreamer, and a visionary. As the third eldest of ten children, I spent my childhood on our family ranch and worked with my parents in their upholstery shop. I was immersed into the artistic world
early; witnessing seasoned designers in action, and learning hands-on craftsmanship from esteemed artisans. My younger self always knew that interior design was my life’s purpose.

My design lineage began with my grandfather who was a certified master upholsterer from former Yugoslavia. Immigrating to Los Angeles in 1961, he provided upholstery needs to American Presidents, Saudi Princes, and dignitaries. Embracing old-world craftsmanship, my parents continue to uphold the tradition of upholstery, fostering my innate love for design.

I graduated with honors from The Art Institute of Colorado, with my portfolio influencing the institute’s interior design curriculum. I was first published at the age of seventeen, and in my early twenties, I worked for various architectural and design firms in Denver and Mexico City. At twenty-three, I designed and managed projects that surpassed 50 million dollars with ventures in California, Colorado, Texas, Italy, Mexico and Australia. In 2021, LA Style Magazine recognized my talent in a feature alongside Akon and Oprah in The Most Influential Issue.

I choose to celebrate the art of living well, believing that true luxury is focused on treasuring those around us and surrounding ourselves with fine things. Our interiors and environments set the stage for life to happen as it impacts how we perceive ourselves and the world. I value intentional design.

Energized by the desire to bring a piece of heaven to earth, I founded JB Noble Interiors to compose livable atmospheres with sophistication. Each design is tailored to intertwine with our client’s vision. Many times we become cherished friends, as we turn concept into reality. JB Noble is a fresh perspective inspired by choice. From homes to hotels and yachts, our designs are timeless and anchored with quality, transparency, and integrity.

TARAE VIGEANT

Design Assistant

Tarae’s impact extends beyond aesthetics- he’s a force for positive change dedicated to enriching lives and inspiring others to embrace their own boldness. As a fundamental asset to JB Noble Interiors, he plays a key role managing logistics and vendor communications.

Born in Rhode Island, Tarae discovered the creative world through film and was recognized by the State for his work. Exploring possibilities, he moved to Los Angeles and became part of the JB Noble team in 2022. With an intrigue for interior design, Tarae finds himself wrapped up in the curiosity of discovery.

Tarae is dedicated to creating experiences that resonate deeply with those he interacts with. As a person with a high regard to ethics and loyalty, Tarae is passionate about education, travel, and yes- sports cars. He is a simple soul.

Providing efficiency and reflecting the core values of JB Noble Interiors, Tarae brings needed support and dynamic to our clients and design systems.

The Experience

``Representing THE PARK, BANKERS HILL, a premier high-rise residential building in San Diego, our board of investors hired JB Noble Interiors to design and furnish our Model Condos. It was important to us to find a designer who shared our core values, and could present concepts that set THE PARK as the standard in luxury condo living. Josh surpassed our expectations. His talent for design is exceptional, and we are proud to share our experience as we recommend JB NobleInteriors as a distinguished choice.``

``It has truly been our pleasure to have chosen Josh as our interior designer. Our Southern California home offers us a sense of tranquility with its neutral tones. Knowing that we value our grandchildren and their visits, Josh fulfilled our needs with beautiful pieces that are practically suited for their use. We found the construction and design process enjoyable, appreciating the development of details with their careful thought and application. Reflecting on all of the choices that Josh showed us, we confidently admire our final selections-they are all just perfect! We have the city views to our advantage and our home is simply lovely. Thank you, Josh, for the splendid job done! Our fondness for you and your creative talent has grown.``

``Perhaps the best thing I can say about Joshua Bodjanac is that he listens. Very carefully. He listened to my home fantasy-“I want to live in a jewel box!” THEN he went to work. He presented me with exactly what I never knew I wanted. My place is timeless, sophisticated, glamorous, and whimsical. And yes, I now live in a jewel box. Where my imagination ended, Josh’s began-and the result entirely reflects ME!``

– LINDA H. -CLIENT, CALIFORNIA –

``In my profession of Philanthropy, I’ve been in many high-end houses. I have seen 40,000 sq. ft.homes that LOOKED very expensive. Mausoleums. Yours struck me in the heart as I walked down the hallway. It had its own essence. When I saw you in your space, I Understood everything about you. It gave me a sense of who you were, all the facets of you. As beautiful as it is, it’s still a‘home’, not a designer showcase.``

``Josh at JB Noble Interiors is a force to reckon with. He went above and beyond what was expected! His eye for detail and exquisite taste in fabric textiles and colors is none other but talent. He undertakes the job at hand with great pride, passion and confidence, that trusting him to do a great job is easy! My husband and I spent a great deal of time with Josh and we both would hire him in the future! I strongly recommend Josh because you will NOT be disappointed!``

``Joshua, I wanted to let you know that we did get the rug you liked for the entry, and it did pull the colors together as you said it would. From the dining room, living room, entry, WOW. The reconstruction of the sofa, love seat and chairs was spot on; I think that someone can learn many aspects of design, but frankly I don't think anyone can be taught what you have. I am beginning to think your abilities with design, color,
form must be in your DNA.

But, mostly, while all you did makes such a difference-even in the way we see ourselves now-it is your graciousness and manner of relating that has endeared you to us. We were not the most ,er.... 'easy' of clients, but you never got upset or frustrated, and you gently reiterated the concept, suggested wonderful compromises, and brought us along like the Horse Whisperer leading a skittish colt. Well done, you. Sincerely, Joshua, our thanks. You've brought the house out of the 90's!``

– DEBORAH T. -CLIENT, COLORADO –

``We are very pleased with the results gained by hiring JB Noble Interiors and our new home looks lovely. The furniture selection was a great success and we have received many compliments. In addition to the beautiful design, Joshua was very enjoyable to work with. He has a great sense of humor and made a somewhat daunting task much easier.He has integrity and strong character. You won’t go wrong with JB Noble Interiors.``

– CAROLYN A. -CLIENT, COLORADO –

``Josh at JB Noble Interiors was an amazing person to have worked with, designing our church here in Melbourne Australia. His knowledge and expertise took our project from 'an OK looking building' to something that is 'WOW!!, INCREDIBLE!! And so functional!' The interior design and architectural details are nothing short of amazing.

Before working with Josh, new-build construction plans were drawn. He impressed us with his knowledge adjusting the room layouts, his problem solving, and his design enhancements to the building’s architecture. His designs have not only made this beautiful place of worship feel relaxed and very practical, but gives the church attendees a gathering place that they are proud to call their own.

Always eager to listen to concerns, he is very quick in giving out solutions and working with industry professionals to get the job done. The physical distance from Australia to The United States did not hinder us as we communicated remotely and visited in person when necessary. The entire church building committee is thrilled to have worked with Josh and would highly recommend him as an exceptional designer for projects that span from a new home to churches and everything else in between.``

``Roland and I have had the pleasure of engaging with Joshua over the past 5 years. Joshua is an imaginative, out of the box thinker with superb design skills. He brings a fresh approach to each project and has the keen ability to listen to his clients and truly bring their ideas to life.

We purchased a brand-new condo just prior to COVID which required a complete build-out. The project was made difficult as it kicked off during the height of the international COVID lockdown while we resided thousands of miles away in the Midwest, restricted from travel to California. We gave Joshua complete authority to design, manage demolition and construction, hire and supervise multiple trade professionals AND procure goods for the entire condo.

When finally allowed to travel, we arrived to see our beautiful, fully furnished home in “live-in” condition. We were awestruck, not only by the innovative solutions (solving a few problems made by the builder), and by well-placed small touches made by Joshua and his team as well. Josh’s efforts made for a truly joy filled living environment.

We have been so impressed with Josh that we engaged him to undertake a second project for us. He continues to bring new ideas to each project, focus on overdelivering on expectations and remains diligent on timelines and budgets.

He is smart, energetic, always a pleasure to work with and has become a true friend.
Roland and I appreciate Joshua Bodjanac for the creative genius he is!``

``We found the JB Noble design team as a pleasure to work with. Not only is Josh a talented designer, he and Tarae made the entire process fun. We couldn’t have been happier with the results. Most of the project was completed while we were away on vacation and it was so nice to come home and find the condo completely changed with everything beautifully orchestrated. We would highly recommend JB Noble to anyone considering a high-end remodel.``
