meet the team
Since 2016, we've been a true partner to Richmond realtors, homeowners, builders and investors, with one shared goal: helping every home sell faster, at its full potential.
From Claude Designs to Claude Home Staging
Claude Home Staging began in 2016 as part of Claude Designs, Jessica Claudio's interior design studio. As the staging work grew, it became clear it deserved to stand on its own.
Today we focus on one thing: helping Richmond homes sell faster, for top dollar.
Need interior design, not staging? Our sister studio, Claude Living, designs homes to live in.

Emotional connection
Our executed vision makes buyers emotionally connect with the final product. After all, buying a home is an emotional purchase.
High-end + welcoming
Our staging feels elevated and inviting — never cold or uninviting.
Curated inventory
Thoughtful, curated staging inventory, chosen piece by piece for each home.
A story for every home
Every home looks different and unique. Each has its own story to tell — and we help bring it to life.
Jessica Claudio
Jessica has been staging Richmond homes since 2016, partnering with realtors, homeowners, builders and investors to get listings photo-ready and sold. Her goal on every project is to help buyers picture their life in the home, and to make the process easy for everyone involved.
Today she leads a team that stages vacant and occupied homes across Greater Richmond, and she was named one of Fixr's Top 50 Home Staging Experts of 2025.
Off the clock, you'll find her ballroom dancing, building furniture or sketching new ideas.
Garry LaCombe
Garry has been part of the Claude Home Staging team since 2017. He studied Interior Architecture at Kansas State University and brings years of staging experience to every home he walks through.
Now semi-retired, he consults on select Richmond projects, offering home walkthroughs and occupied-home staging consultations.
Off the clock, you'll usually find him sketching tomorrow's space with a glass of red wine in hand. He is French, after all!
