Our UZOHG (Unapologetic Zone of Humble Genius) is in full-service residential interior design that rocks some seriously stunning California coastal vibes. It’s modern, it’s minimal, it’s magical. We’re kinda famous for it. Seriously, check it out here.

Ariel’s design aesthetic is California coastal blended with modern elements. We love infusing our clients' homes with colors and textures that tell a story. But here’s the catch: This isn’t really about our style. It’s about yours. Quirky or cool. Clean or mean. Ariel takes the time to get to know each of her clients so that every square inch of your home feels like an extension of your self-expression.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

PRESS

01. You’re part of our family.

We’re total softies … except when it comes to defending you from design disasters, dodgy contractors, and way-too-many-decisions-to-make disease. Then? We’ll whip out our fiercest protective scowls and have your back from dream home concept to Insta-worthy completion.

02. It’s all about you – not us.

We believe authentic interior design is brought to life by marrying color, texture and shapes with meaningful personal details. Which is why we make the process and outcome all about you. This is your dream home. We’re just here to make it a reality.

03. Your home will be functional …

The foundation of every great space starts with functionality (and some seriously cool AF storage solutions, btw). After all, there’s no point designing a perfect place you’re scared to screw up simply by existing in. Let’s make a home you can live, laugh and fart in.

04. And gorgeous.

We’re unashamedly selective about who we choose to partner with. This is your dream home! We aren’t cutting corners. So, you can trust that your space will be lovingly brought to life with only the finest furnishings, lighting, materials and decor from makers around the world.
