Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler is a designer and creative director whose vision extends beyond design into culture. Her Los Angeles studio spans architecture, interiors, furniture, creative direction, curation, media, and technology, serving as a laboratory for innovative ideas. She avoids a signature style; each project is infused with emotion, history, and provocation. Her early work brought intensity and a new American sensibility to hospitality, residential, and retail design through art, texture, color, and pattern. Operating globally, she collaborates with brands including Dior, and Louis Vuitton, and has created over 500 objects in furniture and lighting. Beyond the studio, she is a prominent voice in design—author, MasterClass instructor, and media creator—continuing to expand her practice with optimism and fearlessness. Her Substack, Wearstlerworld, quickly rose to the platform's top design titles, alongside Side Hustle, a curatorial platform for collaboration, discovery, and creative risk.
