Growing up, she had joyous memories watching Old Hollywood films with her father, a Cusic family tradition. She was inspired by their costume & set design, & most importantly the storytelling. As a designer, Kendra references those timeless aesthetics & applies it to her work.
As a storyteller, Kendra’s delight is to make her clients the main character in their spaces. At Cusic & Warner, the focus will never be on what's in season but on creating a classic aesthetic that can be beloved for a lifetime. Since establishing her interior design firm in 2017, Kendra has made her mark in many industries including luxury residential, commercial spaces, & high-profile film sets. She offers a fresh outlook with an inter-mixture of bold hues, rich textiles & a wide range of sumptuous styles that bring a vibrancy to each space.
At the essence of Cusic & Warner Design is its ability to listen & understand its clients. Kendra’s goal when communicating with clients is to bring warmth to every interaction.
My love for beautiful things came from her. Undoubtedly, both sides of my lineage – the Cusics and Warner-Brooks – have put this creative passion in my bloodstream and I had to honor them. I hope the legacy of Cusic & Warner Interiors goes beyond their wildest dreams.
The question I am asked most often is “ Well, I know who Cusic is, but who is Warner?” With a slight smile, I explain that it’s the maiden name of my dear grandmother, Baroness M. Warner-Brooks. I wanted to pay homage to my beautifully independent, creative Grandmother and recognize the woman she was before she became a wife and mother.
