scw/d studio

We have worked with scw/d in 2 houses over the last 7 years. They have taken our taste and elevated it in ways we could not imagine. We wouldn't considering working (or moving) without consulting them! We never tire of the spaces we have designed with them - even years into living in a room. A particular favorite is the custom record cabinet Christian designed for us in 2020, it will forever has a place in our home.

As a designer colleague of Christians, I have witnessed as she dives into a project that she leaves no stone unturned. She thinks of EVERYTHING. All the miscellaneous details.. and she creates such a unique vibe that is truly yours. Her wealth of design knowledge and creative solutions make not only the finished product worth it, but each step alongside working with Christian is this fun, inquisitive, beautiful experience. She makes the design process easy, and delivers things bite-sized so that clients understand the details and are aware of project status all along the way! I admire her business practices and design expertise. Genuine care from every angle on her part makes you feel so seen and understood. If you need an interior designer in California (or elsewhere!), it would behoove you to acquire Christian's expertise!

Christian not only transformed the aesthetics of my spa with an incredible redesign but also maximized the functionality of the entire space. Attentive to my requirements, she crafted the ideal design, incorporating every element I desired. The furniture selections she made were genuinely distinctive and stunning. I absolutely LOVE my new space. I highly recommend her – her work speaks volumes.

Cannot say enough nice things about Christian! I’ve worked with many designers over the decades and on multiple projects with her from West to East coast. I consider her an emerging talent in Los Angeles – stylish and classic with a fresh contemporary twist. Sometimes you get one or the other… a highly creative or an organized doer. She is that rare combination of both. I work with her on the vendor side and watch her interactions with clients. Christian is kind and engaging with clients and vendors alike. She brings an infectious enthusiasm to the project. I also witness respectfulness in her guidance in the design process considering the client’s wants and needs. She is also detail oriented with drawings and considering the best move for each area. She orders on time and stays on top of her projects. Highly recommend working with Christian!

We met with Christian at the recommendation of our builder, whom we had just started working with on our forever dream home. From that first meeting with Christian, we knew that we wanted to work with her. In fact, we didn't even interview another designer. We had lots of ideas that we wanted to incorporate into our new build. Christian helped us sort through them, helped us edit them, and find the best way and the best place to use them. This included brick, stone, beautiful wood beams and floors, a very functional, beautiful working kitchen and scullery, lots of color, and the designer- dreaded ceiling fans! She delivered all that, plus a beautiful family room, dining room, primary suite, study, an amazing entertainment room, and much more! She worked with us on every detail, bringing so many fun, functional, and beautiful recommendations. Christian designed much of our furniture and had it manufactured to her specifications. In addition, she helped us understand the importance of incorporating beautiful and meaningful art into our home. One of the best compliments that we have received was that Christian is a wonderful designer, and that our fingerprints are all over our new home. Exactly what we wanted! Christian was a joy to work with. She returned every phone call, email, and text, explained every detail, and listened to everything we had to offer. We truly ended up with the forever home of our dreams! That is exactly what we wanted! I can't recommend Christian highly enough!

Christian is an absolute joy to work with. She is undoubtedly talented but she is also trust worthy, communicative and organized. I’d worked with other designers before only to be left disappointed with an incomplete project. It’s one thing to present pretty wallpaper and lamps…it an entirely other thing to plan and organize a project from conception to completion. Christian not only delivers great design, she delivers detailed budgets, timelines and installs a space on the date she says she will and it’s magazine ready! The renovation process can be so overwhelming but Christian truly makes its painless. She made so many pieces of furniture custom for me; they are so much better quality and so much prettier than anything I’d ever seen shopping on my own or with other designers. I would move just so we could start the process over again, but I love my house too much!

Christian is a genius! She’s highly creative and has a deep understanding of interior design. She has extensive knowledge about quality fabrics, high end construction details and her work proves just that. She walked into my space and knew exactly what to do with it. She guided me through the entire process of what I could expect and executed everything above and beyond. Exceeded all my expectations. She was meticulous for organization and communicative every step of the way. A bonus is she’ll have you laughing the entire time.
