“There is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design.” — Kelly Wearstler Quote

There is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design.

Everything I commission - whether it is for me or for a client's home or for a hotel or office - is absolutely unique to that job. I have everything made, or I find vintage and antique pieces at markets and auctions.

I do not like being in front of the camera.

The same time I'm designing my collection, I'm also designing my store. It has to have brand awareness, an identity. I'm also designing the racks and the hangers, and juggling a lot of things.

Having an eye is one thing, but you have to be able to execute.

The exposure I have had to beautiful materials across the world, from Japan to Italy, enables me to pull design ideas together. This, combined with years of historical research, has created a great fountain of ideas for me.

Everyone in the astronaut program has a degree in a science field. The crew are the ones who do the experiments, help to design some of the experiments that come from other primary researchers. So it becomes very important that you have a science background.

Changing up your home decor is a great way to get a fresh start, especially when going through something like a breakup or a divorce. Begin with replacing the pictures of your ex around the house with photos of your kids or memories with friends. You can even shop for beautiful new frames to make the process more fun and design friendly.

I do think they did such an amazing job on the design of Baby Yoda. I feel like 'Star Wars' did it on purpose. They were like, 'We're in a really divisive time and we need something to bring the world together. Baby Yoda.' And then they just made Baby Yoda.
