About
Hi, I'm Sophie, founder and creative director of STUDIO KRAUSS, an interior design and interior architecture studio serving NYC, New Jersey, Long Island, and Connecticut.
I work across the full scope of a home: space planning and custom built-ins, material and finish selection, and complete furniture curation for every room. My training as both an architect and interior designer means I can take a project from structural and spatial decisions through to the last piece of furniture, all under one point of contact and one cohesive vision.
I hold a Bachelor's in Architecture from Germany and a Master's in Architecture from The Cooper Union, and I've worked on high-end residential design across Europe, Asia, and the U.S. That background shapes how I work: precise, spatially considered, and grounded in how you actually live.
I take on full-home and multi-room projects, from architectural detailing like custom millwork and built-ins to full furniture and material selection for an entire space. You'll get a clear, organized process from concept through final installation, with steady communication throughout.
Let's talk about your project.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sophie and Studio Krauss. She renovated and furnished our entire home, and the whole process was incredibly organized, efficient, and stress-free. Sophie has an amazing eye for design and created a space that feels both beautiful and functional. We constantly receive compliments from friends and family on our home. We couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Studio Krauss to anyone looking for a talented and professional interiordesigner and architect.

Sophie helped us renovate and fully furnish our apartment in Jersey City, and we had such a great experience working with her. We had never worked with a designer before, so we werent really sure what to expect, but Sophie made the whole process feel easy, organized, and enjoyable from start to finish.Studio Krauss is extremely thoughtful and detail-oriented, and we always felt guided and supported throughout the project. We absolutely love how our home turned out and couldnt be happier with the final result. We highly recommend Studio Krauss!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My design fee is a flat rate based on your project's scope, so you know the cost upfront before we start. For furniture, fixtures, and materials, I charge a procurement fee as a percentage of what we purchase together - and I pass along all trade discounts in full, so you still get the best possible price on every piece. Your first consultation is free, with no obligation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process starts with a phone consultation to understand your project and vision. From there, I schedule an in-person site visit to see the space firsthand, followed by a detailed questionnaire so I can get to know how you live, what you love, and what isn't currently working. Once I have a full picture, I move into concept development - mood boards, layout options, and material selections - and present the design for your feedback before we finalize anything. From there, I handle procurement and oversee installation from start to finish, so you're supported through every stage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from Germany and a Master's degree in Architecture from The Cooper Union in New York City. Since then, I've worked as an architectural and interior designer for firms across Europe, Asia, and the United States, with a focus on high-end residential design.
