About Kosma
KOSMA (n.) FROM THE ANCIENT GREEK KOSMAS, MEANING UNIVERSE
“Kosma” refers to the systems of the universe in all their sublime complexity and infinite totality. Studio Kosma was founded on the belief that together, a meaningful narrative and masterfully crafted space have an impact greater than the sum of their parts – greater than a single discipline or vision.
Kara Piepmeyer
FOUNDER | PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Studio Kosma was founded in 2021 by design principal Kara Piepmeyer. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Kara tempers luxury with utility and thoughtful moments with character, to create spaces that are intimate, inviting and transportive.
Her approach is rooted in her life experiences as much as her design training. After working as a registered nurse for 6 years, Kara made the leap into Interior Design and earned a Master of Interior Architecture degree from UCLA Extension. Her own search for personal authenticity fuels her approach with clients. Kara's design process isn't so much about developing a signature style, as it is about savoring the process of creating a uniquely customized space tailored to each client.
After cutting her teeth in architectural design in Los Angeles and working her way up to be the Creative Director at San Francisco based hospitality design studio, ROY, Kara longed to create a truly client-focused interior design firm. Today, Studio Kosma crafts both residential and commercial spaces across California, always focusing holistically on balancing beauty with longevity, comfort, and function.
