Why people hire us for their Pasadena project
You see it before you buy it
We source every product first, then build photoreal 3D renderings. What you approve is what arrives.
Furniture you will not find in stores
Trade-only vendors, artisans and custom makers, built to commercial-grade standards with residential comfort.
No chasing shipments
We purchase, receive, inspect and warehouse every item, then stage delivery in the right order.
One contact, start to finish
We coordinate contractors, trades, vendors and delivery teams so you are not managing five phone numbers.
A home built around your life
We listen first. Discovery sessions uncover what you want before you can fully put it into words.
What your Pasadena interior design project includes
Design in Rhythm is based in Los Angeles and works with homeowners, developers and hospitality owners across the US. We take a project from the first conversation all the way through final styling, so the finished space matches the renderings you approved.

The work behind the studio
“Jon is our family's first experience with a professional designer for our house and he's absolutely blown away every expectation. From our first call I could tell he radiated positivity, genuine care, and professionalism. He guided us with such patience as we navigated balancing both my and my husbands styles, and happily answered every question, call, and text no matter how big or small the detail.”
“Jon's work is beyond exceptional, cool, vibrant, and just beautiful. And as important, he is just a blast to work with. He listens, he cares, and he is a true people person. He brings forth his creativity and yet remains true to my style. Jon designed our "monster couch" and provided interior design for our space. We wanted a giant L couch for our living room. He helped us blend with the natural beauty outside of our living room and brought in colors and accents to make a truly modern, cool, and yet unbelievably comfortable living space. Small touches, like helping us creatively dog-proof and kid-proof the couch, were so appreciated. We more recently worked with Jon to furnish the outdoor space for our back yard. We are so happy with his custom outdoor furniture line. Like all his pieces, it is made for actual use, is the right size, is the right fabric, and is incredibly durable and comfortable. And the set is a work of art. Jon is beginning to help us design a new custom piece, and we can't wait to see what inspired work he brings us next! I could not recommend him more highly!”
“Jon was the first designer I ever worked with, and will be the last. He is so attentive to detail, personality style, interests, and overall aesthetics when working with a client. He is patient, and takes his time to create a special space for each unique person he works with. I am a little bit of a control freak and he let me express my thoughts and opinions in a way that allowed me to feel comfortable and in control. I have heard of some designers taking over as if they know best and are the expert, but Jon never had any sense of entitlement. He is extremely versatile and creates spaces that feel beautiful and practical. His furniture is made with care and attention to detail. If you are on the fence, don't be. You will be so happy to work with him!”

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on projects in Pasadena?
Yes. We are based in Los Angeles, California and work with clients across the United States. Our active markets include Los Angeles and Santa Barbara CA, Boston MA, Las Vegas NV, Washington DC and New Jersey.
How is pricing set for a project?
Every home is different, so there is no set price list. The free consultation is where we define your objectives, budget and timeline, then scope the work from there.
Can you take on one room, or only full remodels?
We handle full home remodels, apartments, outdoor spaces and other residential work. Tell us your scope in the form and we will confirm what makes sense on the consultation call.
Do you buy and deliver the furniture too?
Yes. We handle sourcing, purchasing, contracts and order tracking, then receive, inspect and warehouse each item and stage delivery in the right order for install day.
Do you build the space as well?
We provide construction support, not general contracting. For new construction or structural changes we coordinate with your contractors and trades so specifications, materials and finishes match the design.
Do you design restaurants and hotels near Pasadena too?
Yes. Along with residential work we design restaurants, bars, commercial spaces and boutique hotels under 100 rooms, with the same end-to-end process.
