Meet Kru-thi-ka Rao
-

After a career as a corporate lawyer in London, she moved to California and followed her calling for real estate and interior design.
In less than a decade, she established herself as a successful entrepreneur building a multi-million dollar, international portfolio that she acquired, renovated, designed, and currently manages.
Having stewarded each project from conception, procurement through construction to final styling, she hopes to share her expertise with her clients.
The confluence of her unusual advanced legal training and her substantive hands-on property experience, benefits clients in various ways.
The process begins with measured space planning and evolves through rigorous material selection, custom detailing, and layered styling — resulting in homes that feel both considered and lived-in — bringing your vision to fruition.
Kruthika brings composed, authoritative leadership across all design phases: sophisticated contract negotiation, rigorous risk management, precise budgeting, and efficient permitting executed in tandem with creative layouts, finish specification and detailing. This integration keeps projects on schedule and aligned with design intent.
With a fastidious eye and personable communication, she coordinates seamlessly with contractors, architects, and consultants, managing procurement, timelines, and quality control with disciplined organisation.
By developing clear, purposeful narratives for every commission, drawing on her extensive travel and deep appreciation for history and architecture, she ensures each space resonates with context and provenance.
In a nutshell, her work is centered on you and bringing your vision to life.
Outside of client work she serves as a trustee for nonprofit boards and, when time permits, collects antiques and art— small discoveries that frequently inform and enrich her interiors.
