To us, it’s about listening effectively and creating inspired spaces that represent our clients.
Our exceptionally personal approach to design goes beyond trends or imitations, striving to convey an honest expression of individuality.
OUR PROCESS
From conception to installation, we strive to earn our clients’ trust and confidence by following a formalized process that provides a structured framework, fostering creativity throughout the project.
DISCOVERY
This is where we really get to know our clients. We explore the project’s potential through guided conversations, programming studies, and preliminary floor plans. We document all aesthetic goals and project needs in a formal scope of work, including a preliminary timeline and furnishings budget.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
This is where our design vision really comes to life. We present curated mood boards, material samples, and room renderings. We seek out specialty pieces and identify locations for custom details. At this stage, we collaborate with artis and craftspeople on bespoke pieces and finishes.
DOCUMENTATION
Meticulous construction documentation ensures clear communication and successful execution. We coordinate frequent site visits to ensure our design intent is realized. All interior furnishings selections are compiled into a proposal package for client approval.
PURCHASING & EXPEDITING
Our team procures all approved interior merchandise. Each order shipment is tracked and inspected upon delivery to meet our quality standards.
INSTALLATION
It’s showtime! In the final phase, we coordinate the delivery of all interior merchandise to the home and oversee the installation of lighting, furnishings, soft goods, art, and accessories. We thoughtfully integrate pieces from our clients' collections and meticulously curate every detail, down to the final styling touches, ensuring the space feels truly complete.
Brittany H. Giannone
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
From a young age, I watched in awe as my father, a driven entrepreneur, built his residential interior design practice. I remember Saturdays on his lap at live auctions, exploring antique shops together, and occasionally playing under worktables in artisan studios while he selected intricate details for upholstery or drapery. I have always admired how his career and passion were so deeply intertwined.
Inspired to follow in his footsteps, I founded ABD STUDIO in 2014. Today, our firm is known for crafting interiors that honor the architectural integrity of every project, integrating refined elegance with comfort and functionality at every turn. ABD STUDIO is proud to have designed projects throughout California and across the country, from new builds and historic restorations to family residences and island retreats.
My inspiration and drive come from our clients — understanding their stories, personalities, and what makes their heart sing allows me to design spaces that feel authentically theirs. Being invited into my clients’ homes to enhance life’s special moments through design is not just a privilege; it’s a passion.
