Jeffrey Escobar

Jeffrey Escobar is the Founder and CTO of Addicting Elements, a Miami-based app studio he co-founded with Arshroop Saini. A Computer Engineering graduate of Johns Hopkins University, he builds enterprise-grade systems and consumer AI products, with a focus on making good design and powerful software approachable to everyone.

He leads House AI, an AI interior design app that has surpassed 1 million downloads across 175+ countries and 40+ languages. It turns a photo of a real room into an actionable redesign and connects users to more than 330 retail partners, including Amazon, IKEA, West Elm and Wayfair.

Background

Before Addicting Elements, Jeffrey worked as a software engineering contractor building C++ infrastructure for defense applications in Washington, D.C., and shipped a range of earlier ventures across AI agents, generative tools and consumer products. His Johns Hopkins thesis focused on emotion-detection AI built on Microsoft Azure, with an emphasis on understudied emotional states such as stress and anxiety.
