Designer Crush: Mead Quin

Designer Mead Quin has become widely recognized for her cohesive, elegant, and functional designs throughout the Bay Area. With a background in fine art at Vanderbilt University, Mead has taken inspiration from her artistic roots as a successful-portrait painter and transferred that talent to the interior design world. She landed her first opportunity as an assistant for Grant K. Gibson Interior Design.

In an interview with SFGATE she reflects on that experience, “Grant took me under his wing early on, and showed me that kindness, laughter, wicked natural talent and the ability to not take oneself too seriously are what you really need to make it in this industry.”

Following that opportunity, she began designing with the talented Martha Angus up until 2013 when she took the next step in her career and opened up her own design firm in 2013. Quin’s work is sophisticated and intellectual. Her work features white interiors, interesting shapes, and lines to create, in her words, “livable art.”

We are excited to begin our window treatment and custom sewing collaborations with the uber-talented Mead Quin Design. She is one of the kindest designers I’ve ever met, and we resonate with her design philosophy of ‘everyday simplicity, genuine authenticity, and high-quality focus.”
