KORI CRUSE / DESIGNER

Born and raised in Southern California, Kori has always been captivated by art, design, and the process of creating. Although from a beach town, she’s long been drawn to the energy of city life. That passion deepened while studying Urban Design & Architecture Studies at New York University, where she was inspired by the balance between creativity and logic that shapes our built environment.

Kori began her career in architecture before finding her passion in interior design—a discipline that allows her to bring together her diverse interests into designs that reflect and elevate the human experience. Her design philosophy is rooted in curiosity and a love for problem-solving, always seeking new ways to give every space its own personality.

Kori lives in Lower Pacific Heights, San Francisco. Outside the studio, she can be found thrifting, boxing, painting, exploring the city, or diving into her next creative venture.
