From the studios of MassArt to the forefront of global design, Kelly Wearstler, BFA ’94 (Graphic Design) has built a career defined by bold creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and a visionary approach to space. As founder of her own internationally recognized design firm, Kelly Wearstler Interior Design, she has reimagined the language of interior design, shaping everything from boutique hotels to private residences with daring elegance.

By 2010, The New York Times credited her with redefining the look of boutique hotels. She’s expanded into fashion, rugs, fine china, and jewelry and started “Wearstlerworld,” a newsletter on all things Wearstler.

A recent feature in Air Mail offers a glimpse into Kelly’s favorite Los Angeles galleries, design destinations, and the places that continue to inspire her iconic work.
