Hi, I’m Kelsey
I opened Kelsey Brown Interiors, a boutique studio based in Santa Cruz, California, because I love homes and people. Interior design combines my passion for empathic listening and design into making beautiful spaces that people love. With my background in real estate and hospitality, I bring a practical, lifestyle-driven design that creates spaces that feel both elevated and livable.
Thoughtful + Functional
Spaces designed for how you actually live
Warm + Intentional
Layered materials, natural textures, timeless tones
Collaborative Process
A guided, supportive experience from start to finish
My Approach
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring the Santa Cruz coastline, discovering new local restaurants, or spending time at home with my partner and our two dogs. I’m constantly inspired by the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle of this area—both of which influence the spaces I create.

“After moving from the East Coast, we struggled to make our new house feel like home. Kelsey thoughtfully helped us arrange our belongings, refine our style, and let go of what no longer served us. Her guidance created a space that feels both personal and beautifully cohesive.”
