The Back Story
StudioBARON DESIGN delivers compelling, inventive spaces, tailored to your real life, wherever you live, work, host, or play. We work with homeowners, developers, and real-estate professionals on both residential projects and commercial sites. As a full-service interior design and lifestyle studio, we’re known for work that hits the sweet spot where coastal meets cosmopolitan. We listen first, then help navigate our clients through a world of possibilities fundamentally richer than what they might envision on their own. We insist on rigorous attention to detail, consistent and transparent communication, and full project-management skills as we bring ideas to life — from concept through completion. You'll benefit from our long-standing relationships with local artisans, workrooms, fabricators and vendors, which allow us to carefully match your priorities, scope, timeline and budget. Philosophically, we aspire to blend the wisdom of an experienced advisor with the heartfelt honest of a trusted friend, leaving room for serendipity along the way. We are excited to partner with you and look forward to building a collaborative work relationship.
Meet Linda
Principal and Creative Director of STUDIOBARON Design, Linda is a native New Yorker who has lived in Northern California for half her life. She juxtaposes an easy-going, West-coast sensibility with the tailored aesthetic of a city girl. Clients are drawn to Linda’s warm manner, relentless curiosity, and immersive attention to detail. Before founding her firm, Linda was a photojournalist, most notably for The New York Times. As an experienced narrative storyteller, she infuses her design work with visual interest and depth, resulting in rooms as compelling as they are camera ready. Outside the studio, Linda is a mom of two daughters, and two rescue dogs. She is learning to sail, vows to ski til she can’t walk, and aspires to run another Dipsea. Linda co-leads the Marin-Sonoma alumni group for the Modern Elder Academy. She is privileged to volunteer at both Make it Home Bay Area, which helps to furnish homes for underserved people, and at Sausalito Center for the Arts, a local non-profit art gallery. Travel is her escape and muse, whether discovering a favorite mountain trail in majestic Marin, or a fanciful village on a far-flung continent. She is as passionate about discovering the next great Pinot as she is about exceptional design….
