Meet Nellie Howard Ossi

Jacksonville, Florida native Nellie Jane Howard Ossi grew up immersed in the design world of her parents, Phoebe and James Howard. She says the family trips that were often centered around antique stores instilled in her a lifelong passion for finding unique pieces. Nellie joined her parents at their firm in 2012. Today, she manages and buys for their Jacksonville Beach retail store, Mrs. Howard, while also managing decorating projects across the country. Nellie’s style is a reflection of her coastal Southern upbringing with a fresh take on classics and timeless design.
