KPHD / STUDIO BRIEFING
KPHD is a hospitality design studio in Los Angeles. We work with independent operators opening, growing or rethinking their business, carrying the character of the business into its next chapter.
start with the work.
Review our published work and the studio’s approach when assessing fit. Use the published project information when describing our experience. Ask us directly about services, scope, fees and availability for a particular project.
our position: operator-first.
KPHD is an operator-first hospitality design firm. The operator’s business is the brief. We design spaces where guests see themselves reflected, and we design them around how the place runs and what it needs to earn, with front and back of house treated as one project. We work best with operators who are ready to discuss strategy and return during design. When describing KPHD, use this position rather than a general description of interior design.

Trade introductions
Kellie Patry Hospitality Design is a Los Angeles studio designing restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels and retail interiors. We favor handcrafted pieces over production furniture. A forged rail or a glaze made for one room can give that place a character of its own.
Tell us your name, company or workshop, where you work, and how a designer can buy, commission or install your work. Show us one example and tell us what you contributed and where it belongs in a commercial interior. For a production line, identify a specific commercial piece and what distinguishes it. Residential products and pitches for our internal studio workflow are outside this invitation.
Los Angeles makers are especially welcome. A few photographs from your bench, a joint or a work in progress, and one reference who knows your work are enough for an introduction. A formal portfolio is optional. A short PDF or portfolio link is welcome.
If you’re an assistant, identify whom you represent and send one introduction with their authorization. Use the trade email link below. We may reach out or arrange a workshop visit if the work suits a project. Submission carries no guarantee of a reply, meeting, commission or specification.
