Kelly Wearstler's Career Earns Her a Spot in the AD100 Hall of Fame

Architectural Digest has recognized Kelly Wearstler among its AD100 Hall of Fame honorees, citing a body of work that has broadened what the title "interior designer" can mean. The publication is now turning to Wearstler directly, asking the veteran talent to lay out the thinking behind a career built on that expansion. Her answer, as AD frames it, doubles as a guide for running a design practice as a creative entrepreneur. The recognition places her among a small group singled out for shaping the field itself, not just individual rooms.
