Portrait of David Desmond
David Desmond began his design practice in Los Angeles in 2000. Over the past 24 years, he has designed the interiors of historic homes, beach houses, city apartments and iconic estates. His projects span the United States, Europe and Asia. David works closely with his clients to create interiors that are deeply personal and one of a kind.

Raised in Massachusetts, David graduated cum laude from Williams College with a degree in French, and subsequently studied fine arts at the École Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques Penninghen in Paris. He later moved to Los Angeles, obtained a law degree from UCLA and practiced law. His strong interest in the decorative arts led him back to UCLA, where he studied interior design before launching his firm. He is a member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art.
