Adrian Dufour

I approach residential design with a focus on clarity, functionality, and thoughtful planning. My work centers on creating kitchens, baths, and living spaces that are both visually cohesive and practical for everyday use.

I bring a background in art, long-term business ownership, and formal interior design training, including a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and Architecture, and an NKBA Kitchen and Bath Certificate. This combination informs a design process that balances creativity with technical understanding, clear documentation, and collaboration with contractors and project partners.

Based in San Francisco, I work with homeowners who value a steady, organized design process and well-considered solutions that support real-world construction.
