Designer Profile

Designing for "YOUR" lifestyle and understanding the “needs of the client” is my main goal. When working with clients I believe in providing creative solutions for every individual. I love to create new and innovative designs for cabinetry, countertops, furniture, floor plans and anything else that might be required. Designing in California is like no other with its amazing coastal view’s from Newport Coast and Dana Point to beautiful mountain homes and vineyard getaways.

TESTIMONIALS -
“Kimberly is a fantastic Interior Designer. She listened to our issues and presented several alternatives. She worked within our budget and assisted with all aspects of our home remodel.”
Bob & Wendy Gorelick

“We recently photographed Kimberly's work at the 2009 ASID Design Tour. Her designs were fresh and well thought out. She also finished her work ahead of schedule which allowed us to complete our assignment on time. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a first class designer.”
Jim Doyle

"We wanted to Thank You for the beautiful interior design work that you did on our home. I know we presented some special challenges with our small zoo of 3 medium sized, active dogs and our 2 cats and our very tight budget. Your work demonstrates that you can have a beautiful home and an active household.
Throughout the whole design process you kept our needs and budget in mind. You maintained a perfect balance between allowing our design preferences to come through and your design. You were also very skilled in bringing the feel, warmth and color of our Vineyard locale into your design. We were able to complete the project very quickly-especially considering it was almost the entire 4,000 sq foot house.
I can’t begin to tell you how many complements we have had on the design work when people come into our home.
Gratefully Yours,
Patti & Cynthia

"You have such a professional, but likable demeanor. You listened and always went way beyond the expected - something most interior designers don't do. I loved all of your ideas and can only see that you will continue to grow."
JoAnn Belczak

I have a background that is encompassed in creative endeavors. I hold a B.A. in Interior Design from Interior Designers Institute in Newport Beach, a certificate in Zen Design and have a working knowledge of Feng Shui. I work in all areas of design from Residential to Commercial where no job is too big or too small. I enjoy designing with all styles and elements from Modern to Traditional and anywhere in between. I have participated in the Philharmonic Design House for 3 years and was a part of the first ASID Urban Living Tour in 2009.

ASID Urban Living Tour 2009 - A mix of contemporary and Art Deco bring this loft bedroom alive. Vibrant colors and rich textures emphasize the metropolitan energy in this fresh design. Suspended drum lights and sheer backdrops highlight clean lines, while pewter accents and abstract art add a unique flare. Irvine
ASID Urban Living Tour 2009 - Contemporary, Spa and Traditional elements create a unique and refined bathroom. Warm woods, crystal lighting, glass tile and botanical art all add in making this a bathroom to enjoy. Irvine
Lodi, CA - With the kitchen being the main gathering place I wanted to create a large open feel with plenty of work area. I added a prep sink, separate ovens and two long counters for work space with stools on one side for countertop dining. The use of natural stone, caramel cabinets and European touches fell right in line with the surrounding 3 acres of vineyard. Lodi
Lodi, CA - A large square space becomes casual and cozy. I used a mixture of styles and textures to give a traveled feel and easy to clean furniture to share with their furry friends. Lodi
Lodi, CA - Old meets new in this cozy dining space. Local finds at flea markets, antique shops and their 3 acres of vineyard made this dining space unique to their own. Lodi
Tustin, CA - HIS & HERS! This was a complete remodel from ground up. This is the “HIS” bathroom with walk-in closet, steam shower, water closet and custom sink space. The concrete counter and integrated sink was custom designed along with the cabinetry. I added hidden outlets, slid out medicine drawer and large storage drawers below. Natural stone flooring with radiant heating will keep his feet warm in the winter. Tustin
Tustin, CA - This is the “HERS” bathroom with walk-in closet, walk-in shower, water closet and custom sink space. A mirror image of “HIS” bathroom except for the walk-in shower and sink design. I used custom framed mirrors with different frames for each. Both bathrooms have a wonderful spa feel with plenty of space to groom. Tustin
Tustin, CA - The Parlor is a combination of re-used items and new. I had the sofa reupholstered in a plush iridescent fabric and added a fun striped fabric for the welting and outside panels. The side tables in dark wood show off her Mom’s old lamps. The artwork above the sofa is custom botanical pieces found in California. My client loves to relax on the sofa to read and look out into the courtyard. Tustin
Design House 2008 - This spacious balcony hideaway is a place to gather. Using indoor comforts, lush plant life and sophisticated fabrics you will lose yourself in this astonishing setting. Newport Coast
Design House 2008 - The unique water feature and lush foliage only add to this spectacular balcony hideaway. Newport Coast
Yorba Linda, CA - A long and narrow Family room becomes open and warm. I designed the custom built-in cabinetry to house the fireplace, TV, movies, books and collectibles. The ceiling was coffered with cove lighting, recessed lighting and skylights to brighten a dark room. Yorba Linda
Lake Arrowhead, CA - My clients wanted a fun playroom with dual function. I incorporated a custom daybed with large drawers below for storage and a queen sleeper sofa to give them more sleeping areas for the future grandchildren. The pool table, TV, music system and dart board really helped in making this space fun for all not to mention the beautiful surrounding mountains and lake view. Lake Arrowhead Mountains
Orange, CA - Design on a Budget! A mix of colors, textures and patterns help to create an individual look. A touch of paint to brighten, warm woods and soft upholstery help to create a cozy sleeping nest. Orange
Lodi, CA - Keep it simple with natural stone and a touch of old world charm. Hand scraped doors, caramel cabinets, oil rubbed bronze fixtures and framed mirrors add that special touch. Lodi
Design House 2006 - Old world grandeur meets new world charm in this sophisticated entry and hall. Custom handmade iron work, bold art pieces and rich colors emphasize the connection between the entry, grand hallway and the adjoining spaces. Coto deCaza
Design House 2006 - The grand hallway with gently curved arches and old world lighting will lead you further into this Santa Barbara style villa. Coto deCaza
Orange, CA - The use of warm textures and a mixture of styles really gave this Family room a cozy feel. The fireplace had been painted brick and very small. I designed a custom fireplace surround, added crystals for a modern touch and made the fireplace a centerpiece for the room. Orange
Tustin, CA - Quick update! This guest bath was in need of a facelift. I incorporated a standard cabinet, upgraded the hardware and topped it off with beautiful green speckled granite. Then added oil rubbed bronze fixtures, new framed mirror, fresh paint and lighting. Tustin
Tustin, CA - Quick Update 2! This is the second guest bath that needed a facelift. New cabinet, granite countertop, fresh paint, new faucets and fixtures and tumbled travertine brought this guest bath from rundown to fresh and renewed. Tustin
Design House 2007 - Understated elegance is embodied in the Hampton-chic foyer and hall. This warm and welcoming ambiance sets the tone for all that is to come. Tustin
Design House 2007 - The glow of natural light streams through a custom leaded glass window and gently illuminates the comfortable furnishings, vibrant artwork and soft area rug. Tustin
