Bishop Beauty

What Bishop Beauty does

Bishop Pass is a privately-held interior architecture and design firm founded in 2011 in Venice Beach, California, currently operating from offices in Palm Springs (431 S Palm Canyon Dr STE 210) and Los Angeles. The firm provides bespoke interior design services to enterprise clients in the food and beverage, hospitality, and retail sectors, creating highly customized public venues through intensive collaboration with clients to integrate brand ethos, location attributes, and operational programming. The core technology is service-based bespoke design with no proprietary productized platform; revenue is generated through one-time project fees on a project-by-project basis rather than recurring or licensing arrangements.

The customer base skews toward premium hospitality and celebrity-chef restaurants, with named engagements including Stripsteak by Michael Mina (Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas), Bardot Brasserie by Michael Mina (Aria Resort and Casino), Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina (Waldorf Astoria, Dana Point), International Smoke by Michael Mina, Pabu by Michael Mina, Maude by Curtis Stone (Beverly Hills), S-Bar by SBE (Mandalay Bay), The Terrace at The Maybourne Hotel (Beverly Hills), Cara Hotel, Old Homestead Steakhouse (Borgata, Atlantic City), Andaz Napa, and Kassi Beach Club (Virgin Resort, Las Vegas). Bishop Pass is a certified Minority Business Enterprise and is co-led by Partners Anthony Agriam (founder, 20+ years of design experience, Art Center College of Design) and Stephen Knight (Creative Director, joined 2013, background in Anthropology and Interior Design from LSU). Geographic reach spans domestically from Hawaii to Florida and includes international clients from Japan to the UK. No funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, no app products, no APIs, and headcount of 1-10 employees indicate a small boutique studio.
