PRINCIPAL & DIRECTOR OF INTERIOR DESIGN

Diane Park received a Bachelor of Interior Design degree from the California State University of Long Beach. In her early career, she worked for world-renowned architecture offices such as Gensler and SOM, and recently held the position of Director of Design at Westfield/URW.
As Interiors Lead, Diane was instrumental in conceiving and executing some of its portfolio’s most iconic properties. Her work includes Century City’s common area renovation and new dining terrace “bistro” environment, Valley Fair’s new retail interior expansion and furniture line, UTC La Jolla’s common area renovation, and San Francisco Center’s unique workplace environment appropriately named “Bespoke.” With over 20+ years of experience working in interiors on both the architect and owner’s side of the business, Diane shares a unique perspective balancing the experience of both when implementing her work through all phases of the design process. With particular insight into what is “current,” Diane can quickly identify an appropriate trend for a project and expertly generate environments that inspire and create value for our clients.
