Bio

Published in several Interior Design magazines and recently selected winner by Architectural Digest Magazine’s Open Auditions, award winning design star Tracy Murdock has been designing the interiors of LA’s celebrity and business elite for over a decade now.

Tracy’s travels all over the world have imprinted and shaped her style today. Her signature “drop dead design” covers the gamut from classic, to colorful, and dramatic to contemporary and are her trademark today.

Throughout her career, Tracy’s interiors have won numerous awards and have been featured in many design books and publications. She has also appeared on HGTV’s Designer’s Challenge.

“Everything is so personal in this business”

An unabashed perfectionist, she believes firmly that beauty lies in the details. “My number one goal is to achieve my client’s vision, to capture their personality and reflect it in the design.” Establishing such familiarity with each client, often to the degree of being able to cater to their requests for not just a new interior scheme but also a new lifestyle, is possible because Murdock maintains a boutique operation. “I feel a responsibility toward my clients,” says Murdock, “in that they hired me to design, and it’s important that they know they are getting my full attention and consideration. You are hiring me, not my firm. I am highly disciplined and extremely focused on my work and my philosophy”.

“Everything is so personal in this business” she says. “I learn the way my clients live, and they are completely involved in what I’m putting together, many for the first time. I want them to feel that gratification later when they are living in the home, that they were a part of it, that the house reflects them. The process is collaborative”.

“Most of my clients don’t understand the scope of a project until it’s well under way,” she says. “Creativity is only half the job. This is a complex business. The management of purchase orders and invoices, deadlines and deliveries is a challenge. But I love the process because I have a passion for details and organization”.

Tracy Murdock, Allied ASID, is based in Malibu, California where her uniquely conceived designs and uncompromising attention to detail are paired with a relentless effort to meet budgets and deadlines, treating each project like it was the only project and quite often, exceeding her clients’ expectations.
