Karina Mendez has spent over a decade creating stunning, functional spaces that consistently exceed her clients' expectations. Known for her keen eye for design, she excels in curating the perfect product selection, blending creativity with a meticulous attention to detail. Karina approaches each project with a focus on individuality, tailoring her recommendations to reflect the client’s unique style, preferences, and the practical needs of their home. Rather than imposing her own ideas, she guides clients thoughtfully, always staying on the pulse of design trends while also thinking outside the box.

Karina’s love for design began at an early age. As a child, she was always captivated by the potential of the spaces she visited. Whether traveling with her parents or exploring new environments, she would instinctively critique the spaces, imagining how they could be improved to be both more functional and aesthetically pleasing. At just 8 years old, while dining at a restaurant, she told her cousin that the space needed a larger window, a deeper wall color, and better lighting. Her cousin, no doubt confused, probably wondered, “Can we just play now?” Looking back, Karina smiles at the memory, knowing that her passion for design has been a constant thread in her life.

As Karina grew older, it became clear that her passion for design was more than just a childhood fascination—it was her true calling. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she moved to San Francisco to pursue her dream of becoming an interior designer. There, she attended San Francisco State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design in 2012. Shortly after, Karina became a certified interior designer in California and began building her design business in Los Angeles.

Throughout her career, Karina has worked on a diverse range of projects, from intimate residential spaces to expansive, multi-million dollar developments and restaurants. Her versatility and expertise have earned her a reputation for bringing unique visions to life.

In a delightful twist of fate, Karina’s personal and professional lives intersected when she met a charming man from Orange County who swept her off her feet and soon asked her to marry him. Today, Karina resides in Anaheim, where she runs her thriving design firm, continuing to transform spaces with passion, creativity, and a personal touch.
