KRISTIN PIPAL INTERIORS
Create. Renovate. Restore.
MY STORY
I have always been interested in Interior Design, Architecture and Fashion. I believe in the power of beautiful spaces to transform daily life. I pride myself on attention to detail, quality and craftsmanship in all of my designs. I love bringing my clients along the design journey from the initial project meeting, through the design process, finish, fixture and furnishing selections, construction and installation.
I have a passion for working with historic buildings and buildings with a keen sense of architectural integrity and fusing them with modern lifestyles and needs of my clients. Before Interior Design, I pursued a career in retail buying and management and worked for family run businesses and The Limited Corporation. I spent 5 years at Disneyland as a manager for the Resort Enhancement Department, leading the window display, interior merchandise and restaurant propping, seasonal overlay and fresh floral programs resort wide.
In 2001, I decided to leave retail and pursue my dream of becoming an Interior Designer. I obtained my Interior Design degree and managed the Interior Design Department for award winning architect Kelly Sutherlin McLeod, FAIA for 17 years, working on custom residential, commercial, civic, historic, ecclesiastical and restaurant projects. I also worked on numerous high profile and significant historic preservation and restoration projects including The Gamble House and Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, numerous Greene and Greene residences throughout Los Angeles, the Richard Neutra designed Olan G & Aida T Hafley House in Long Beach and Sedwick Reserve Ranch in Santa Barbara. I spent 4 years commuting to Michigan to restore a lodge and goat farm and worked on renovations to a ranch in Northern California!
Owning my own business has allowed me to continue my passion to work on unique projects with amazing clients and help them transform their spaces. I have been able to work with talented craftsman and artisans who are equally as passionate about design and detail as I am. I am LEED certified and passionate about sustainability and universal design and try to be conscious of this in all my projects.
When I am not running my business, I teach Space Planning, Historic Preservation and Drafting classes at Interior Designers Institute in Newport Beach. I also love spending time with my family and restoring our 1913 Craftsman Bungalow in Pasadena.
As we evolve, so should our spaces.
