Drawing subtle symbolic inspiration from its location West of Market Street in Kirkland, Washington - and of course, The West Coast - The studio is rooted in a mindset of creative freedom, individual expression, and intentional exploration.
“Going West” has long carried the idea of discovery and forging one’s own path; for Studio West, it’s not about geography, but approach.
Founded in tactile, hands-on exploration and refined through years of creative partnership, the studio balances intuitive expression with intentional structure.
Led by Ro Hampton and Brandon Kent, each project unfolds through conversation, materiality, and narrative. Translating story and collaboration into spaces that feel emotionally resonant, grounded, and enduring.
As Studio West continues to grow, its focus remains unchanged: thoughtful, client-centered design built with care, designed to evolve, and made to hold meaning over time.
Studio West an interdisciplinary design studio shaping interiors, experiences, and personal spaces that feel deeply lived and thoughtfully composed.

Our work begins by listening. Understanding the rhythms, needs, and stories that shape how people live and gather - then translating those insights into spaces and experiences that feel personal, grounded, and enduring.
From concept through execution, we balance creative exploration with thoughtful structure, ensuring each project is as considered behind the scenes as it is in the final result.

Every project begins as a conversation. We lead with curiosity and collaboration, allowing ideas to unfold through narrative, material exploration, and context.
Our process blends intuitive, hands-on creativity with clear systems and structure - so clients feel supported, involved, and confident at every stage.

Our work spans interiors, experiences, and lifestyle design. From residential and boutique commercial interiors to styling, event design, and creative consulting, each service is tailored to the project at hand.
