Home design guided by function and feeling.
Interior design and remodel guidance for homeowners ready to create spaces that feel grounded, intentional, and deeply personal.
A thoughtful balance of beauty
West Wind Studio specializes in interior design and remodel projects that balance beauty with everyday living. I design spaces that reflect who you are, how you live, and how you want to feel at home.
Rooted in Southern California and inspired by natural rhythms, my work blends thoughtful design, real-world construction knowledge, and collaborative care.

Designing or remodeling a home can feel overwhelming. My role is to bring clarity, calm, and structure to the process.
At West Wind Studio, I listen first, design with intention, and guide each project with care. The result is a space that feels cohesive, functional, and truly yours.

What It’s Like to Work Together

"We hired Kristin for a whole-house remodel and she was, quite simply, terrific.
We had a particularly difficult kitchen envelope to work with, but she designed a brilliant layout that maximized every inch—perfectly balancing high-end aesthetics with everyday functionality.
What sets Kristin apart is her technical pragmatism and professionalism. She worked hand-in-hand with our contractor to keep the project on track and was incredibly flexible when challenges arose. From her meticulous attention to detail and communication to her talent for integrating colors and materials, she made the entire process seamless. She is a powerhouse of knowledge and work ethic, and a truly wonderful person to collaborate with. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

"Kristin brings clarity, structure, and a level of oversight most homeowners don’t expect.
Before working with Kristin, I thought an interior designer mainly helped choose colors, finishes, and fixtures. What I quickly learned is that an experienced designer like Kristin plays a much bigger role in ensuring a project is completed properly.
Throughout construction, she acted as the bridge between me and the contractor — managing details like layout, lighting, and overall coordination. She ensured materials, decisions, and timelines stayed aligned from start to finish.
In many ways, she functioned like a commissioning engineer, verifying that each component was completed correctly before moving forward. For a homeowner managing construction, that level of oversight and experience is incredibly valuable. Kristin protects the integrity of the project while creating a space that is both functional and beautiful.”

"Working with Kristin on our remodel was the best decision we made.
She didn't just 'design' our home; she partnered with us to find a style that felt uniquely ours. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her ability to coordinate with our contractor kept the project moving forward without hitches. She understands the balance of form and function perfectly. Beyond her skills, she is just an all-around lovely person to be around.
Kristin is a terrific designer with a rare mix of creative vision and technical pragmatism. She managed our full home renovation with total professionalism, staying flexible as needs changed and communicating every step of the way. She has a great relationship with contractors and a deep knowledge of materials, ensuring the final result was both stunning and functional.
If you want a designer who is collaborative, detailed, and knowledgeable, hire Kristin!”
