Meet Kim Doherty
Founder & Principal
For as long as she can remember, Kim has had a love for beautiful, thoughtful spaces. With a background in business and marketing — and formal design training from UCLA Extension — she brings a creative eye and a strategic approach to every project. After stepping away from the corporate world to raise her three children, Kim turned her passion for interiors into a full-time career, sharpening her skills in space planning, color theory, material and furniture selection, and bringing ideas to life through detailed 2D and 3D renderings.
What started with small projects for friends quickly grew into home renovations and collaborations with contractors, builders, and architects. Today, Kim specializes in home renovations, whole-home design, and new construction — creating spaces that feel fresh, effortless, and deeply personal — beautifully designed for the way you live.
