Founder & Principal at Curated Style Collective
Craig Gritzen is the founder and creative director of Curated Style Collective, a Los Angeles-based interior design and lifestyle studio creating spaces for the life a person is building next. His work sits at the intersection of interior design, lifestyle, atmosphere, and personal reinvention. Rather than treating a home as a static backdrop, Craig approaches design as a form of infrastructure for how people want to live, rest, gather, work, recover, and move through change. Craig’s expertise includes residential interiors, furnishings, spatial planning, lighting, color, materials, styling, design trends, home functionality, and the relationship between our environments and daily behavior. His perspective is especially focused on homes that feel collected, emotionally resonant, and personal rather than overly polished or trend-driven. Before founding Curated Style Collective, Craig built a career in biotechnology and project leadership, an experience that continues to shape his highly considered approach to design. He combines creative intuition with systems thinking, research, and an understanding of how small environmental changes can influence the way a space feels and functions. Craig is frequently tapped by national design and lifestyle publications for expert commentary on interiors, emerging trends, materials, color, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, furnishings, and the evolving ways people want to live at home. His commentary has appeared in outlets including Homes & Gardens, Livingetc, House Digest, Hunker, and others. Based in Los Angeles, Craig works with design-aware homeowners, creatives, and brands through Curated Style Collective and its creative studio work. His point of view is rooted in the belief that interior design is the discipline, lifestyle is the lens, and atmosphere is the outcome.

Founder at Render Vision
I’ve spent more than 20 years working in 3D visualization, building on my background in industrial design from HfG Offenbach. When I started Render Vision, I wanted it to stand on three simple but powerful principles: precision, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving. For me, great 3D rendering isn’t just about technical perfection - it’s about emotion. I love using small, almost invisible details - like how morning light filters through curtains or how atmosphere shapes the feeling of a space - to make people feel what they see. That idea grew into what I now call “emotional realism.” It’s become the heart of Render Vision’s work and what makes our images stand out in an industry that often focuses purely on the technical side. To make sure this approach runs through everything we do, I developed a shared visual language for the team. It helps every artist understand and create that same emotional depth - so together, we can tell stories through spaces that people don’t just look at, but truly connect with.
