Kelly Wearstler’s creative journey began when she was a child, always drawn to color and pattern and the objects she discovered with her mother at flea markets. Now she’s recognized as a creative force in the design world, credited with helping revolutionize modern American design. Her narrative-focused, experiential work has shaped residential, hotel, commercial, and retail environments, and that’s in addition to the success of her popular wallpaper and lifestyle product lines and brand collaborations. She’s been honored internationally with design awards, and she’s a designer of choice among the celebrity set.

An influencer behind the rise of designer hotels in the early 2000s, Kelly uses her dynamic and multilayered approach to space to help designers reimagine modern luxury and site-specific designs. She’s currently designing for high-profile residential hotel living, and her work at San Francisco Proper Hotel, Four Seasons Anguilla, BG Restaurant at Bergdorf Goodman, the Viceroy Hotels and Residences, and Tides Miami are among her most celebrated projects so far. She’s also the author of four design books and regularly lands on the best-of lists in high-end design publications worldwide.
