OUR STUDIO

DESIGNWORTHY is an interior architecture and design studio based in Redondo Beach, California, specializing in comprehensive ground-up builds and high-end residential transformations across the South Bay and the greater Los Angeles area.

Led by sibling partners Claire and Tanner, the studio bridges the gap between structural discipline and refined interior detailing. We partner closely with homeowners, architects, and builders from initial planning stages through custom execution and final styling.

our philosophy

We believe your space should be a true reflection of your unique personality and lifestyle. Our design philosophy is rooted in collaboration and personalization. We take the time to understand your vision, needs, and preferences, translating them into a cohesive and thoughtful design plan.

We know your time is valuable. We expertly handle the details and logistics so you can enjoy the process of seeing your vision come to life. From our signature "Style Guide" meeting (where we'll uncover your unique aesthetic), to the final reveal, we'll be your design partners every step of the way.
