Natasha Baradaran
Natasha Baradaran is the founder and creative visionary behind her namesake design, home and lifestyle brand. Inspired by her multicultural background, Natasha's work fuses European design traditions, Middle Eastern arts, and the laid-back luxury of Southern California living. Born in Los Angeles, Natasha attended Westlake School for Girls, giving her a foundation for women helping other women. She received her Bachelor of Arts from USC, Master of Arts from Columbia, and attended UCLA's School of Interior Design. She resides in Beverly Hills with her husband Bob, and is a mother to two daughters, Isabella and Olivia. In 2000, she founded Natasha Baradaran Interior Design. Baradaran has received industry accolades, including The Hollywood Reporter's "Most Influential Interior Designers in Hollywood." Baradaran's work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, W Magazine, Town & Country, and Veranda Magazine, which named her "The Master of Craft." In 2013, Baradaran launched her furniture collection, followed by textiles in 2019. Natasha was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer in 2021, and treated at the Tower Hematology Oncology Group under the care of Dr. Philomena McAndrew. Since her recovery, she has supported her community of women to bring more awareness to the importance of early detection. Designing for good, Natasha pledged proceeds of all pink fabrics from Natasha Baradaran Textiles to the Magnolia Council. Baradaran strives to help women today who are going through what she has, and to honor the memory of her maternal grandmother, who lost her fight to this disease. Moving forward, Natasha's philanthropic focus is the eradication of breast cancer.
