About
KIM CHILTON GRIFFITH
I was raised with panache and curiosity about fashion, architecture, and interiors. While growing up in Chicago, I spent my weekends either visiting art galleries and museums, finding myself in awe of various artists, styles, and techniques, or exploring an estate sale in search of the perfect piece to add to my vintage and heirloom accessories collection. During the summer season, while traveling with my family around the country and abroad, I always took an interest in the captivating architecture wherever we were.
As a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Communications and Advertising, my early career began at one of the largest multicultural advertising agencies worldwide. Interestingly, while working on various ad campaigns, I discovered my innate design abilities, a natural talent. My love and interest in interior design turned from a passion to a desire, so I decided to take the leap, leaving the advertising industry behind, and began my studies at the Illinois Institute of Art -- combining my natural skills with class instruction and industry knowledge required to be a successful interior designer.
My work is characterized by a unique perspective, where I focus not only on a space's look and function, but also on the atmosphere it radiates. By integrating my meditation routines and intuitive sense into my design projects, I create visually captivating spaces that foster tranquility, positivity, and well-being. This approach is not just unique, but also inspiring, as it challenges traditional notions of interior design.
My design process is deeply collaborative, with each space being a unique reflection of the client's essence. I work closely with my clients, delving into their requirements, tastes, and distinct aura. This collaborative approach ensures that the space is not just visually appealing, but also a true reflection of the client's personality and lifestyle. I channel these aspects into the space using a thoughtful blend of colors, textures, lighting, and other design elements, creating a cohesive and harmonious design.
Beyond crafting beautiful spaces, I infuse the design process with a sense of purpose - helping individuals connect with their inner energy and experience upliftment and inspiration through their surroundings. My innovative approach challenges traditional views on interior design, showing that a space can transcend its physical form to become a mirror of our identities, a wellspring of creativity, and a sanctuary for healing.
My portfolio includes a diverse range of clients, from professional athletes and corporate professionals to entrepreneurs, art enthusiasts, and high-end homeowners. This breadth of experience has honed my ability to cater to a wide range of needs and preferences, ensuring that each design is unique and tailored to the client's individual style and requirements.
