Kelly Wearstler is a designer and founder of an eponymous Los Angeles-based studio that works across architecture, design, curation, and creative direction.

Since she began her practice in 1995, the multihyphenate has designed eclectic, craft-forward, and context-driven residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality interiors; engaged in innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations and brand partnerships; and commissioned the talents who become design’s rising stars through her online Gallery.

Always on the cutting-edge, she is currently exploring the design potential of Artificial Intelligence, having integrated it into early project stages since late 2023, and adopting sustainable, eco-friendly practices to ensure the design industry’s positive impact. Having made a career pushing its bounds, she has been honored on the AD100 Hall of Fame, Elle Décor A-List, Wallpaper’s Top 20 Designers, and Time Magazine’s The Design 100, among others, and was one of the first interior designers to host a MasterClass. Wearstler is the author of six design books and a columnist for Harper’s Bazaar Netherlands.
