Owner, Principal Designer
Chelsea Ruitenberg
Inspired by and rooted in nature, Chelsea focuses on creating functional and thoughtful spaces that truly feel like home. Growing up surrounded by design, thanks to her grandfather and father who were both in the industry, Chelsea developed a natural design philosophy that seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal with conscious material selections.
Before launching her own design studio, Chelsea spent nearly a decade refining her organizational skills and learning the intricacies of product sourcing through her work in project management and high-end fashion product development in New York City. This background honed her ability to create streamlined processes and prioritize quality sourcing, providing a strong foundation for her transition into interior design. After relocating to the West Coast, her passion for design and the constant re-arranging of her own home, ultimately led her to start her own studio. Her work is driven by a deep commitment to her clients and a desire to create spaces that reflect their personalities and lifestyles.
When Chelsea isn't dreaming up your future spaces, she enjoys road trips up the coast, cooking yummy homemade meals, cuddling up with a good book and soaking up all the San Diego sun with her partner Ryan and their Aussie-doodle, Basil.
