LMID founder, is the passionate designer Lizette Marie Bruckstein. Forgoing the traditional route of apprenticing in a prestigious design firm, Lizette founded her high-end residential design firm, Lizette Marie Interior Design, right out of school. In the years since, Lizette has evolved into a well-respected designer with a loyal list of clients that span from San Francisco to the greater bay area to Indonesia. Lizette’s philosophy is simple, to create custom spaces for her clients that are a reflection of the client’s best self. From provocative to playful, colorful to serenely neutral, Lizette’s designs are expertly crafted as she plays up the use of scale, texture and pattern. A big proponent of custom design, incorporating it into floor coverings and case goods, Lizette strives to give each space she creates its own signature focal point. Her use of color and geometrics in large-scale projects has also garnered attention from local and national shelter magazines, such as San Francisco Chronicle’s Stylemakers, Silicon Valley Magazine, and Gentry Magazine.
When not designing homes, Lizette is designing her new fine fragrance line of candles, Gilded Decay by LIZETTE MARIE.
