Kaya Bird

Kaya

A graduate of KLC School of Design in London (BA Hons, Interior Design), Kaya works closely with Steph as an Interior Designer and Assistant, bringing a creative eye and a thoughtful, detail-led approach to every project.

Drawing is central to her work. She develops ideas through hand sketches and concept drawings, then turns them into detailed technical drawing packages that guide each project from first concept through to completion.

Kaya is drawn to the balance between old and new, and loves how authentic vintage and antique pieces bring warmth and character to design. It’s an approach that sits naturally within A Styling Story, where each space is layered and personal with understated elegance. It’s this layering of old and new that lets each interior tell its own story.
