THE TEAM

KENDAL CREANEY

Founder, Creative Director

Kendal is the founder and creative vision behind Strad Studio, bringing over a decade of experience in interior design. Beginning her career as an intern and advancing to Senior Designer, she spent years refining her craft alongside a talented creative team before establishing Strad Studio (formerly KendyLane Design) in 2023. Her vision was to create a more intentional, personalized approach to design, rooted in thoughtful collaboration and an exceptional client experience.

Known for her understated sophistication and discerning eye for detail, Kendal believes true luxury lies in the balance of beauty, function, and thoughtful execution. Her background in real estate brings an added perspective, allowing her to recognize a property's potential and understand how considered design decisions contribute to its long-term value. Her approach is guided by an appreciation for quality, timeless materials, and the subtle details that make a space feel truly exceptional.

Inspired by travel, architecture, and global influences, Kendal draws upon her formal design education and appreciation for both modern and vintage elements to create interiors that feel effortlessly refined and distinctly personal. Beyond the studio, she enjoys a quieter pace of life at her country home, spending time with her family.
