Kelly Hinchman
Kelly began her studies at California State University Chico and completed her education at the Design Institute of San Diego where she earned a BFA in Interior Design. Kelly has the ability to combine her innate creativity with her technical knowledge of construction. Kelly is very passionate about sustainable design, as well as educating clients on green materials and building methods. She is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Efficiency Design) accredited professional, a member of USGBC (United States Green Building Council), and a member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers).
Kelly began her career at Robin Wilson Interior Design, where her expertise was in the areas of multi-family housing developments, hospitality design, and residential design. Other projects in her diverse portfolio include: restaurants, boutiques and educational institutions.
In early 2010, Kelly began consulting for Linda Johnson at her company, Casa Bella Interiors. Kelly admired Linda's creativity and straight forward approach with clients. Combining her skills with Linda's experience seemed natural for a partnership- each having different but complimentary skill sets to bring to partnership and therefore benefiting to both residential and commercial clients. In early 2011 the partnership developed into Casa Bella Interiors with an additional department of Hinchman | Johnson Design Studio.
Kelly brings her creative side to all parts of her life which include painting, traveling, teaching pilates and spending time with her family and friends.
