What Kishani Perera does

Kishani Perera Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned boutique interior design and design-build firm based in Los Angeles, operating since approximately 2000. The firm delivers full-service residential interior design — from concept, space planning, interior architecture, drawings, renderings, and project management through furnishing, custom fabrication, and installation — alongside ground-up construction, remodels, and construction planning services for high-net-worth clients including celebrities, musicians, and entrepreneurs.

Its distinguishing product pillar is the trademarked Healthy Homes™ Design and Construction approach, which emphasizes non-toxic materials, alternative building methods that minimize toxins and molds, and fire-resilience — repackaging wellness-oriented design and construction as a defined service line with its own website and brand identity. The firm also offers design consultations through The Expert platform as a lower-friction acquisition channel.

The business model is professional-services-based: pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed tiers. Revenue is generated from full-service design fees, construction management, custom fabrication, and consultation fees. Go-to-market relies on direct client relationships, referrals from existing high-profile clientele, and earned media across design and lifestyle publications. An American Express national ad campaign and a published coffee-table book ('Vintage Remix', Abrams 2012) extend brand reach beyond direct selling. The firm has no outside funding, no parent company, and remains tightly held by founder Kishani Perera.
