Painfully Hip was started by designer/writer/stylist Amber Mortensen in February 2007 as a fashion blog. Since then, her styling, interiors, photography and writing have been featured by BUST Magazine, Elle.com, Vogue.com, Chicago Tribune, and the Arizona Daily Star, Lucky Magazine, Urban Outfitters.com, Buffalo Exchange.com, Apartment Therapy, and national print ads for Crossroads Trading Company. Her costumes, interiors and locations have been featured in commercials and print ads for Apple, AT&T, Verizon, Sony, Levi's, Amazon, Wayfair, Microsoft, Amazon and Ubisoft. Since relocating to Los Angeles and expanding to interiors, Painfully Hip's focus has evolved into a microcosm of lifestyle design. We specialize in unpretentious, authentic, organic modern interior design, original graphics and copywriting, production location services, staging, event photography, and wardrobe design for special events like everyday. Life is short, make sure it's beautiful. Your home and style should be like you; open, original and authentic. It should reflect you, not your hectic life. We create spaces and wardrobes that are organized yet easy, minimal yet cozy, modern yet captivating, calming but never boring. I love seeing people light up when they walk into their new home or look in the mirror. A makeover for your home, wardrobe or business is the quickest and most transformative lifestyle upgrade you can invest in.
