Meet the Founder

Denise Rockstroh
Founder & Principal Designer

Dwelle Design Studio was founded on a lifelong understanding of how spaces shape the way we live, paired with an early foundation in smart-home technology. That perspective informs a design approach where every decision is both intentional and highly functional.

With a global perspective and a deep understanding of California living, the studio creates interiors that feel composed, warm, and quietly tailored to each client.
