Michael Brown Joins Vesta Home as Chief Creative Officer

Brown’s appointment signals a shift for Vesta Home, which currently completes 2,500 projects annually and managed $13.7 billion in real estate transactions in 2025. Working alongside CEO Julian Buckner, Brown is tasked with developing proprietary furniture collections and scaling the firm’s interior design division. His background includes launching RH’s specialized design ateliers and operating his own design-build firm, Custom Lime, which served a high-net-worth clientele.

For Vesta Home, the strategy relies on leveraging its existing footprint in luxury markets like New York, Miami, and the Hamptons. By analyzing the data gathered from staging over 5.2 million square feet of property, the company aims to translate consumer preferences into high-end, custom-manufactured furnishings. Brown views this access to properties before they are fully occupied as a distinct advantage in predicting residential design trends and establishing the brand as a primary authority in the luxury sector.
