At Strad Studio, we believe a home is more than a place - it’s a deeply personal reflection of who you are, how you live, and where you’re going.
Based in Southern California, our team is inspired by natural materials and guided by the palette of the coastal region. Founded by the creative mind of Kendal Creaney, our full-service residential and commercial design house is dedicated to crafting extraordinary spaces that balance luxury with livability.
Our work is rooted in the art of listening. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, your routines, and your aspirations, translating them into spaces that feel effortless, authentic, and truly yours. From initial concept to final move-in, we offer a seamless, end-to-end design experience - balancing creativity with clarity, and vision with precision. With thoughtful project management and a deep respect for craftsmanship, we guide you through every detail so you can feel confident, inspired, and at ease.
THE TEAM
KENDAL CREANEY
Founder, Creative Director
Kendal, the creative vision behind Strad Studio, embarked on her design career over a decade ago, working her way up from intern to Senior Designer. After several years creating beautiful spaces alongside of a creative team, she launched her own company Strad Studio (formerly KendyLane Design) in 2023 to launch her creative vision - redefining the design process and pioneering a new way for creative collaboration. Known for her understated sophistication and thoughtful balance between design and function, Kendal approaches each project with an eye for detail and a passion for quality. She believes in livable luxury and the power of refined details when styling a space - always guided by a desire to create lasting impressions.
Her love for travel and global influences, paired with her formal education in design, informs her ability to seamlessly blend modern and vintage elements. Each project is a reflection of Kendal's commitment to creating environments that feel approachable and beautifully balanced. When she is not running her studio she is enjoying time at her country home with her family.
