"The essence of design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out. This is not an easy job."

– Albert Hadley

Southern California–based Studio Simpson creates interiors that blur the line between indoors and out—spaces that invite light, landscape, and architecture into seamless dialogue. The work is layered yet effortless, balancing elegance with a sense of ease, and always attuned to the way people truly live.

Rooted in California but refined through formative years immersed in New York’s art and design worlds, founder Jamieson D. Simpson brings a wide perspective that fuses West Coast openness with East Coast discipline. With decades of experience across architecture and interiors, he has developed not only an instinct for homes that feel both beautifully considered and unmistakably personal, but also a mastery of what makes complex projects succeed. From orchestrating teams and navigating detail-rich construction to balancing the technical with the artistic, his work carries the confidence of deep experience paired with an approachable, forward-looking outlook.

What distinguishes Studio Simpson is the ability to draw out a client’s own point of view and translate it into a space that feels both authentic and elevated. Each project becomes less about imposing a single aesthetic and more about revealing the nuance of personality—whether that means a quiet layering of textures, a bold architectural gesture, or the subtle inclusion of art that speaks to memory and taste.

From city apartments to coastal hideaways and desert retreats, Studio Simpson shapes environments that are timeless, intelligent, and resonant. Each commission is an exploration of character and place, where architecture, furnishings, and art converge to create interiors that feel both inevitable and entirely one of a kind.
