We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Keyara Clardy. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Keyara below.

Keyara, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

Our mission at Clardy Design Group is “design to break the mould”. That is always our focus when we are creating new spaces for our clients. In the ceramics world, a mould is created when you would like to easily remake the same item with minor modifications or variations. In the interior design and architecture world, we call this “cookie cutter”. I’m sure cookie cutter is a phrase everyone may hear thrown around a lot. That’s because a lot of the time, design is very cookie cutter. We specialize in the opposite. Every design we produce is crafted with the client’s style, personality and end use in mind. Every design has a story just like you. We are passionate about functional, maginficent spaces that invoke emotion in us all. We are here to break the mould in design. It’s our mission.

Keyara, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I was young when I developed my love for architecture and design. So young, that I didn’t know what it meant or that it would become who I am today. I have a passion for design like I have for breathing and I take what I do very seriously. I have a beautiful career past and present and have designed for renown firms and quality clients. But there was always something missing and that’s the care for true curation. This is how CDG was born. Clardy Design Group is multidisciplinary, full service interior design firm that specializes currently in hospitality and residential design. Our team carries with honor our mission, designing to break the mould. We care to produce top quality service and design to our clients for an efficient and enjoyable experience. We enjoy incorporating our clients various cultural needs, personalities and styles in the designs we visualize with them.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

It’s always amazing to witness something you’ve imagined come to life. We can sometimes forget how incredible our imaginations can be. Something we say as architects and designers is that we don’t always know what we’re building until it’s done. It’s exhilarating when you’re truly in the moment during the design process and pour all your creativity and love into something to later see it in real life. This is something we aim to help our clients achieve. We do this to bring dreams to reality.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

A goal that I have personally is to diversify design. Everything follows trend but a lot of the time designers can be guilty of not exploring outside of the trends to better find a style that fits the client or criteria. This is where our mission comes from. We also aim to diversify design in terms of functionality. Something I learned early on is that a lot of the time, design does not account for a clients cultural needs or interests, we aim to change this to no longer be the standard.
