President, CEO

James Niebling

James Niebling’s vast experience in management and style has been integral to the success of Esteban Interiors. Before moving to San Diego in 2003 with his husband, Esteban Lopez, James worked with some of the most recognizable fashion brands in the world — among them Macy’s, Express, Ann Taylor, and Polo Ralph Lauren. This expertise helped, in part, propel Esteban Interiors into an elite San Diego interior design firm after its founding in 2004. Aside from his notable work with Esteban Interiors, James was also a founding member and Treasurer of The Art and Design District in Little Italy, San Diego. In the fall of 2011, James was elected to a seat on the Board of Directors for the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and served as the Board President until the Spring of 2018.
