Who are we?
Interior design, for us, is about curating an enhanced human experience.
​
Jonathan Wang Design (JWD) is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2019 and is based in Los Angeles. Since day one, it has been our goal to provide our clients with spaces that engage the senses and promote well-being through the thoughtful selection of materials, pieces, and colors. Our design philosophy focuses on minimalist modern design that refreshes the senses.
​
Every thoughtfully designed space starts with a strategy that prioritizes people.
We begin our design process by creating highly detailed 3D images, selecting the best suitable materials, appropriate spatial lighting, and utmost focus on the human perspectives. Through this process, we help our clients see the value of thinking beyond surface-level design and put our attention on the overall human experience that will affect mood and behavior.
Empathy is the cornerstone of design. And for us to reach deep into what our clients want and empathize with it, expect some level of personal questions about your lifestyle and preference. We work closely and collaboratively with our clients to understand and empathize with your specific needs, project goals, and objectives to develop creative, thoughtful, and cost-effective design solutions tailored to your needs.
