KAITLIN THOMAS

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

As founder and principal designer of Nine Dot Design, Kaitlin Thomas brings more than 18 years of experience and a thoughtful, collaborative approach to creating homes that feel both beautiful and deeply personal.

​

After earning her BA in Interior Design, Kaitlin spent over a decade refining her craft at boutique design firms along the West Coast, working on projects ranging from boutique hotels and restaurants to creative workplaces and custom residences. This diverse background informs her holistic approach to residential design, blending creativity, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of how thoughtfully designed spaces can enhance everyday life.

​

In 2017, Kaitlin founded Nine Dot Design to help clients create homes that are tailored to the way they live. Whether guiding a renovation, new construction project, or full-home furnishing, she partners closely with clients to create spaces that are refined, functional, and uniquely their own.

Outside the studio, you'll likely find Kaitlin cooking, playing soccer, practicing yoga, or spending time outdoors.

Testimonials

“Kaitlin did a fantastic job in our Silverlake home, designing and sourcing pieces/plants for our living room, office, bedroom, and dining room. She has great taste, is very attentive to detail and budget, and offers great client service. Kaitlin did such outstanding work making our vision of a modern Spanish home a reality (and working around the pieces we already had) that we are planning to retain her again when we do our kitchen and bathrooms. Couldn’t imagine a better designer to have worked with.”

THE STUDIO

Nine Dot Design is a San Francisco and Los Angeles–based interior design studio dedicated to creating spaces that feel like a true reflection of the people who live in them—personal, authentic, and lasting. We believe a home should be more than beautiful; it should embody your story, support your lifestyle, and evolve with you over time.
 
With more than 15 years of experience, we’ve learned that great design doesn’t come from chasing trends or following a formula. That’s why we begin every project by listening. We want to understand not only how you live today, but how you want your home to evolve with you—so every decision is made with the bigger picture in mind.

From there, we weave together your story and lifestyle into a design that balances function with beauty. By integrating biophilic principles—bringing in elements inspired by nature—we create homes that feel restorative, grounding, and uniquely yours.
 
The result is a home that’s approachable yet refined, functional yet timeless—an environment that feels like an effortless extension of you and the life you’re building.
