Our Studio

Avenue Interior Design is an award-winning studio specializing in boutique hospitality venues and bespoke residential interiors. Founded in 2009 by Andrea DeRosa and Ashley Justman, the firm has grown from its beginnings in Venice into a multidisciplinary team headquartered on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. Guided by the belief that every space should tell its own authentic story, the studio prioritizes originality over predetermined style, allowing each project to evolve naturally through the lens of clients’ narratives, the character of the architecture, and inspiration gathered from travels around the world. Andrea and Ashley’s early experiences with prestigious hospitality firms and visionary collaborators including Philippe Starck, Matthew Rolston, Caesars Entertainment, and MGM Resorts International established a foundation rooted in storytelling and design at the highest level, a foundation that continues to inform the team’s work across hospitality, commercial, multi family, and residential projects.
