Kristen Larkin

Kristen Larkin’s work is grounded in an understanding of how people experience space and how design decisions perform over time, particularly how interiors support use, adaptability, and clarity well beyond initial occupancy. Her experience spans residential, commercial, and hospitality environments, informed by an interdisciplinary background in psychology, art, and anthropology. She approaches interior design as a system of relationships, where program, user experience, material performance, and long-term use are considered together to produce clear, effective outcomes.

Playing a strategic role on project teams, she helps clients navigate complexity and make informed decisions when priorities compete. She is often guiding conversations around longevity versus trends, helping clients focus on what will continue to hold value as needs change. Her work reflects a deliberate approach to material selection and environmental responsibility, with decisions shaped by performance, durability, and lasting impact.

Looking ahead, Kristen sees interior design evolving toward greater adaptability and intuitive environments, supporting wellbeing by giving people more agency in how they use space. Her work with pottery reinforces this perspective through the discipline of working within functional and material limits, allowing form to emerge rather than be forced. That sensibility carries through her work, resulting in interiors that are resilient and attuned to how people inhabit space over time.
