When I was a little girl I learned that I liked creating things. It didn’t really matter what it was, if the process seemed challenging and the result rewarding, I was up for the task. I’d discover, design, and then move onto the next big idea. I always enjoyed the creative process and the “wow” I’d receive when I showed my projects around. Over the years I created all sorts of cool things, but never seemed to fall in love with any process enough to keep up with it for long. That is, until interior design came along. My affair with the craft began when I was 22 and fresh out of USC. A roommate and I had just moved into our first “big girl” apartment and I was given creative control because of her busy schedule. I began designing that little 2-bed/2-bath and haven’t stopped designing homes since. I enrolled in the Architecture and Interior Design Program at UCLA shortly after and landed a job as an assistant at an interior design firm. For a few years I bounced between design jobs, both commercial and residential, absorbing the ins and outs of the interior design business, until finally deciding to do something of my own. This led to the birth of Arndt Design & Build, which I now proudly run alongside my incredibly talented mother. No matter what style we’re asked to create, we promise to deliver a space that feels cozy, eclectic, and unique. One that ages beautifully. When I'm not making your interior design dreams come true, I'm hanging out in Santa Monica- guzzling coffee, crafting (duh), planning my upcoming wedding to my handsome fiancé, and getting the best slobbery kisses from my furbaby. I’m also probably rushing out the door carrying a zillion random boxes and bags ( ).
