Hi, I’m Thomas Keene.
Design with intention. Live with ease.
My design journey began in 2007 in Sarasota, Florida, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and discovered my love for thoughtful, well crafted spaces. Not long after, California called to me. I was drawn to its balance of natural textures, intentional architecture, and the easy layering of the built and natural environment.
For me, design is found in the details. The quiet decisions that shape how a space feels, not just how it looks. I believe beauty should always be paired with function. A home should support the way you live, move, and gather, feeling effortless and intuitive in everyday life.
When design is both thoughtful and livable, spaces begin to feel personal and lasting. Together, we create environments that feel warm, purposeful, and deeply connected to you and the life you’re building.
My Approach
Design is a balance of intuition and intention. It begins with listening closely, understanding how you live, and paying attention to the details that truly matter. Every decision is made with purpose, because meaningful design is never accidental.
I believe the most successful spaces are built from the inside out. When a home functions effortlessly, the design has room to shine. Layout, flow, and usability are just as important as finishes and form. When these elements work together, a space feels natural, elevated, and lasting.
My process is collaborative and detail driven. From the overall vision down to the keene details, each element is carefully considered to create a space that feels cohesive, personal, and easy to live in.
Simple ideas
Design does not need to be complicated to be impactful. I focus on clarity, restraint, and thoughtful choices that allow a space to breathe while still feeling layered & complete.
Lasting impact
I design with longevity in mind. Spaces should evolve with you, function beautifully over time, & continue to feel intentional long after the final reveal.
