Dwelle Design Studio was born from a lifelong love of beautiful spaces — and a deep-rooted foundation in smart-home technology. Growing up in my family’s business and programming control systems, I learned how thoughtfully integrated tech could elevate everyday living. That balance between form and function still guides every project I take on today.

Originally from Germany and half Turkish, I bring a global perspective to California living — blending craftsmanship, warmth, and simplicity into spaces that feel tranquil yet tailored. After studying at USC and later at the Interior Design Institute, I founded Dwelle as the creative concept that turned a childhood dream into reality (see photo evidence of my 6th grade school project).

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me on the tennis (or pickleball) court, skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and always spending time with my dog, Walnut – usually with a little Coldplay or Bublé playing in the background.

At Dwelle, my goal is simple: to create homes that are as functional as they are beautiful — spaces that feel effortless, grounded, and made for real life.

About Dwelle.

  • "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Denise at Dwelle on two standout homes in Eastside Costa Mesa. Both properties were impeccably designed and ended up selling for the highest price per square foot in their respective neighborhoods."
