Meet Esme

Born and raised in North Carolina, I have always carried the heart of the South with me. My life as a military spouse took me around the world, but I eventually returned home to raise my family and create the spaces I love most. 

I’m a published author, the creator of Due South Magazine, and now the founder of Cozyville by Due South, a brand built around beauty, connection, and everyday warmth.

Cozyville is growing, but its heart remains the same. It is a place where stories, artistry, and simple comforts come together. If you'd like to know me better, you’ll find my voice woven through the articles I write on Due South and the moments I share on social media @EsmeAddison on Instagram and Facebook.
