Kim Doherty is the founder and principal designer of KADI Design, a Newport Beach–based interior design studio known for creating refined, deeply personal homes. She leads projects ranging from focused design plans to full-home renovations and new construction, guiding each with a balance of creative vision, technical understanding, and clear structure.

With a thoughtful and highly organized approach, Kim helps homeowners navigate the many layers of the design process with clarity and confidence. She translates ideas into cohesive, well-resolved plans, collaborates closely with architects and contractors, and ensures that each decision supports the overall vision of the home. Her work bridges aesthetics and practicality — creating spaces that feel effortless, functional, and beautifully considered.

Kim’s design perspective centers on quiet luxury, layered materials, and interiors that feel collected rather than overdesigned. She values proportion, texture, and timeless elements, allowing a home to feel grounded, welcoming, and enduring while still reflecting the people who live there. Her goal is not just a finished space, but a home that feels natural, personal, and truly lived in.

Whether supporting a single room or guiding a larger transformation, Kim creates a process that feels steady, collaborative, and well-led — resulting in homes that are both thoughtfully designed and deeply connected to the way her clients live.
