Meet Our Team
Gina Holz, Principal
Principal Gina Holz is a third generation Angelino raised in a family of builders, architects and real estate professionals. She has a signature style that blends classical charm with modern sophistication, which she credits to the two very different homes she lived in as a child (one that exemplified classical architecture and another that exuded a modern edge).
In 2011, she founded Gina Holz Designs after 10 years working at her father’s luxury home construction business (Richard Holz Inc). During that time, she saw an opportunity to offer more personal guidance to clients that would bridge the gap in the relationship between the builder and the interior designer. Grounded in the many aspects of the home-building process, and deeply familiar with materials and finishes, Gina leverages her diverse experiences, creativity, and passion to help people live better lives through better spaces.
