Interior Architecture

Kelly Ardoin is an architectural and interior designer with over 20 years of experience creating thoughtful, timeless spaces around the world. In 2013, she returned home to New Orleans, where she's embraced the intricacies of interior historic renovations.

After earning her degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, Kelly began her career at a boutique residential architecture studio, working on projects from New York City to Turks and Caicos. She later joined Meyer Davis, where she contributed to award-winning work across the globe and ultimately served as Studio Director.

Her portfolio spans refined private residences ranging from 2,000 to 40,000 square feet, as well as dynamic hospitality environments—from intimate restaurants for renowned chefs in Chicago and New York to large-scale luxury destinations in the Bahamas. Her work is grounded in intelligent planning and expressed through a warm, inviting sensibility.

At the core of Kelly’s approach is the belief that great design should feel deeply personal. Rather than imposing a signature style, she collaborates closely with each client to realize their vision, creating spaces that are both highly functional and distinctly their own. She is equally at home in the fast-paced world of construction, working in close collaboration with contractors to ensure each project is executed with precision and care.
