Stef is a professionally credentialed interior designer known for creating refined, enduring environments for residential and commercial clients. Her approach is informed by a comprehensive academic background, holding degrees in Interior Design and Environmental Design, as well as a graduate degree focusing on complex social issues. This multidisciplinary education enables her to solve intricate spatial challenges with intentional, human-centric solutions.

Well traveled, with a diverse cultural background, Stefanie brings a worldly perspective to her San Diego-based practice. Her design ethos prioritizes foundation above transitory style, focusing on spaces that render permanent connection. Her signature aesthetic blends architectural integrity with the character of the meaningful—artfully integrating sustainable materials and classic design with vintage heirlooms, original artwork, and artisan wares.

On the weekends, you can find her hanging with her husband Jesse and their two dogs at their mid century A-frame cabin in Big Bear Lake.

Our Design Ethos

We carefully curate life's experiences into thoughtful environments through our human-centered, collaborative design process. We focus on compelling projects with meaningful spaces and extraordinary moments.

We look for every opportunity to create a feeling of home for each individual. Home may mean something completely different to one than another, and accepting this individuality actually opens the door for us to create more daring, insightful spaces. 

To create such spaces, we design to support the multi-dimensional needs of our clients. We focus on peoples’ needs, their stories, and their culture. Together, we can make spaces that are as multi-dimensional as you are, to make you feel at home by the way a space fits your needs and makes you feel that your environment is an extension of you and your life story.
