“Your home should tell your story, it should evoke your
unique energy that makes you feel good every time you walk in the door.”
— Wendy Carvalho | San Diego Interior Designer
wendy carvalho | owner + principle designer
Originally from the East Coast, I made the cross-country trek to permanently reside in sunny
San Diego to fully embrace the laid-back, outdoor lifestyle of the West Coast. Outside of my work, I'm an avid traveler, novice photographer, gardener, and painter, always exploring new ways to connect creativity with everyday life.
I’m a lifelong creative and nature lover, with a deep appreciation for the calming power of natural materials, earthy textures, and organic forms. My design aesthetic is rooted in biophilic design—bringing elements of the outdoors into create spaces that support well-being, connection, and comfort.
Before launching my career in interior design, I spent over two decades working in the creative and marketing field. That background taught me the importance of storytelling and how intentional design can evoke emotion and elevate everyday experiences.
Today, I combine that experience with my passion for creating warm, thoughtfully curated interiors that not only look beautiful but feel good to live in. I believe great design has the power to transform how you feel in your space, and that everyone deserves a home that feels like their own personal sanctuary.
Thoughtfully designed spaces have the power to transform
your overall energy and well-being.
My Aesthetic: nature-inspired
My aesthetic blends modern organic, eclectic touches, and always grounded in biophilic design—think natural light, earthy textures, and plenty of plants. I gravitate toward light, airy spaces layered with natural materials like wood, rattan, leather, and soft linens, balanced with bold patterns or pops of color for an easy room refresh.
That being said, I appreciate a range of styles—from dark, moody rooms with rich textures and cozy vibes to the breezy charm of a coastal farmhouse. I’ll collaborate with you to understand your style. Whether you're in San Diego or anywhere else, my goal is to curate a home that feels effortless, natural, and uniquely you.
