ABOUT
TEAM
The Feel is a female-founded, art-centric design studio based in East Los Angeles. Led by artists-turned-designers, we specialize in interiors, art advising, creative consulting, and events—crafting spaces and experiences that are as functional as they are fanciful.
We work closely with a vibrant network of artists, artisans, and makers to bring bold, personal visions to life—whether it’s a cozy home, a modern office, a striking mural, or an unforgettable event. No project is too small or too ambitious. What matters most is creating environments that reflect your identity and support how you live, work, and connect.
At The Feel, we believe great design is driven by clear vision, thoughtful collaboration, and a refined sense of creative possibility.

She has designed creative office spaces for The Borman Group for the past eight years, and residences for Lyons Design & Build for the past five years.
