Kristy didn’t come to interior design through a traditional path—but looking back, it feels inevitable. She was the kid who constantly reimagined her bedroom, chasing that feeling of transformation that still drives her today.

As a former dancer and performer, storytelling through movement and space was her first language. That same rhythm, creativity, and sense of flow now guide her design philosophy—helping clients across the country transform their homes into reflections of their energy, lifestyle, and vision.

After a decade in corporate roles with Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson and Boston Scientific, Kristy craved something more creative and personal. Designing for friends and family reignited her passion; she soon recognized a gap in the market for elevated design that was both accessible and intentional.

For select projects in Southern California, Kristy takes on full furnishings and new builds at a time to ensure a high-touch customer experience.

Meet Kristy


We were created with discerning clients in mind.

As someone who appreciates quality and values clarity, Kristy understood what it's like to want a beautifully designed space without the stress, hidden markups, or inflated fees. That’s why she reimagined the traditional design process—offering a refined, virtual experience while delivering elevated, high-end results.

Our firm doesn't simply direct others to execute a vision—we craft it, refine it, and equip you (or your team) with everything needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’re seeking luxury design with transparency, flexibility, and substance, welcome! You’re exactly where you need to be.

Meet Stella 


Chief Vibe Officer (CVO) 🐾
Serving whoever wants to give me cuddles

Stella is our four-legged design assistant—though “assistant” might be a stretch. She takes far too many nap breaks, contributes very little to floor plan reviews, and has a strong opinion about which blanket is hers. Lazy? Absolutely. Lovable? Totally. We keep her around for the cuddles, the company, and her unwavering commitment to mid-morning naps.

“Every studio needs a little fur and a lot of personality—Stella brings both.”
