Meet Analia Kipnis | CEO/ Founder Principal Interior Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Analia Kipnis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Analia, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The success of the AKID Studio brand most importantly comes from its unique blend of vision, values, and execution. Based on your focus and role as founder and CEO, here are the core pillars driving that success:
Client-Centered Experience

Success comes from deeply listening to each client’s needs and turning their desires into elegant, functional design. The studio doesn’t just decorate—it transforms lives through space, making people feel seen, supported, and inspired in their environments.
Balance of Design and Project Management

Most creative studios focus on aesthetics. AKID Studio succeeds because it fuses creativity with precision—delivering beautifully designed projects on time and within budget, while managing contractors, materials, and timelines seamlessly. That reliability builds trust and repeat business.
Multidisciplinary Approach

By combining interior design with art direction and lifestyle branding, AKID Studio doesn’t just design rooms—it crafts holistic atmospheres. This 360-degree experience makes the brand ideal for both residential and commercial clients seeking standout, intentional spaces.
Strong Brand Identity

From visuals to voice, AKID Studio has a consistent, elevated presence across platforms. It speaks to a modern, creative, values-driven audience—and that consistency breeds recognition, referrals, and long-term loyalty.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
AKID Studio is more than a design firm—it’s a creative sanctuary where interiors become personal narratives. We specialize in residential and commercial projects that blend thoughtful design, soulful storytelling, and practical functionality. What sets us apart is our ability to deeply listen—to not just what clients say, but what they dream of—and then translate that into spaces that feel intentional, elevated, and deeply human.

We take a multidisciplinary approach, combining interior design, project management, and lifestyle branding to offer a full-circle experience. Whether it’s a home that needs to feel like a retreat, or a retail space that tells a brand story, AKID Studio is grounded in the belief that design should transform how people feel in their everyday lives.

I’m especially proud of how we manage to balance artistic vision with practical execution—bringing creative concepts to life while staying on schedule and within budget. That balance is key to earning the trust of our clients and collaborators.

AKID Studio was born from a desire to build not just beautiful spaces, but spaces that feel—that spark connection, inspire movement, and reflect authenticity. That’s our purpose, and that’s the heart of everything we do.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to the Roots Behind AKID Studio 🌱

Where I am today—and the heart behind AKID Studio—is deeply shaped by the people and energies that have poured into me over the years.

First and foremost, I want to dedicate this shoutout to my family, especially those who encouraged me to see beauty in small details, to stay curious, and to trust my instincts even when the path felt uncertain. Their quiet strength taught me how to build something meaningful with both hands and heart.

I also want to recognize the mentors and collaborators—designers, artists, and project managers—who shared their knowledge generously and helped me understand that creativity is only powerful when it’s paired with discipline and follow-through.

A huge piece of credit also goes to the clients who believed in the vision of AKID Studio before it was fully formed. Their trust gave me the confidence to take risks, be bold, and grow into the creative leader I am today.

Lastly, I want to give thanks to the books and voices that have guided me—especially “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron, which reminded me that the creative journey is sacred, personal, and worth honoring daily.

To everyone who’s walked beside me, even for a short part of the path: thank you. Your presence, support, and energy are part of everything AKID Studio creates.
