about
Kai Marin
- Designer, Owner
Dog Mom • True Gemini • Estate Sale connoisseur
You could say I am a woman obsessed in design. Anything I can put a creative spin on, anything I can paint or add flare to, I will. As you might have guessed, I am infinitely inspired by the styles of the 60's 70's and 80's. The bold patterns, the fun typography, the colors and mood...it's definitely where I draw my style from. I like to think my area of expertise is in blending a retro aesthetic with modern day style, as it is really what I'm best at. In the same breath, I love taking a unique approach to a chic and minimal design.
I think of myself as a creative chameleon, always striving to learn different techniques, grow in understanding new methods and do things differently than what's being done in the mainstream. I am a big believer in doing what you love and with that motto, I was determined to create a business that was reflective of my passions and true to my own style. This determination allowed me to produce work I truly love and provide clientele with something unique.
Over the last 7 years I have learned from my mistakes and perfected my approach. I have created hundreds of unique designs, a thousand wedding clients turned friends but I am most proud of staying true to what I love. For this reason, I have never really "worked" a day in my life.
"Whether it's a tablescape design for your elopement in Tulum or a unique stationery suite for a wild Palm Springs wedding...I'm an expert in curating a theme and bringing it to life...sans hokeyness."
