Vanessa Katzen Design is known for a contemporary and organic minimalist aesthetic. As founder and principal, Vanessa brings an expert eye for detail and an intuitive approach to objects, accents, and accessories that transform a space.

Her creative language is rooted in her early exposure to art, architecture, and the cultural fabric of New York City — where art galleries became her playground and the city’s diversity her muse. This eclectic foundation continues to inform her layered, sensory-driven style.

Guided by her philosophy that design should evoke a feeling, Vanessa crafts spaces that move beyond the visual to create lived experiences. Each project is a balance of restraint and warmth, minimalism and richness, producing interiors that feel timeless, authentic, and alive.

The studio offers creative advising, interior design, and object curation for residential, hospitality, and commercial clients.
