ABOUT NOZ DESIGN
Noz Design is a full-service interior design firm based in San Francisco founded in 2014, serving clients on residential, hospitality, and retail projects throughout the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, New York City, and beyond. With a focus on spaces that feel narrative, collected over time, Noz Design creates effortlessly eclectic, thoughtful homes that not only reflect our dwellers' lifestyles and life stories, but also mind a space's functionality and a project's budget. We believe in design as a collaboration, in curiosity and continued learning, and in trust and transparency.
At Noz Design, we are big believers that Home is critical to our mental health and happiness.

Influenced by her affinity for sustainability and San Francisco architecture, Kendall – who grew up in the Bay – gravitated back to the City after completing her degree in Environmental Design and Architecture at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her fondness for sustainable living translates from her work into her hobbies: in her free time, you can find Kendall scouring flea markets for art and vintage clothing. Beyond her technical design background, Kendall’s vast experience in the hospitality service industry has made her the ultimate team player, instilled a deep reverence for artisanal cheeses and craft cocktails, and established a penchant for restaurant design.
