Co-Founder & Creative Director

Claudia Juestel is a multifaceted creative force whose work spans interior design, branding, fine arts, hospitality, and cultural curation. Austrian-born and San Francisco-based, she brings a cosmopolitan eye and an effortless sense of style to everything she touches. As the founder of Adeeni Design Group and Adeeni Design Galerie, Claudia has earned a reputation for crafting richly layered, narrative-driven interiors and for curating modernist European art and design with impeccable taste.

Her career bridges fine-arts and culinary training with luxury hospitality and collaborations with global brands, giving her an unusually broad creative vocabulary and a refined instinct for shaping meaningful experiences. Whether partnering with boutique studios or world-renowned companies, Claudia brings a distinctive vision to any endeavor at the intersection of creativity, culture, and purpose.

A joyful connector, she is known for bringing people together with warmth, intelligence, and generosity. Her influence extends beyond design into writing, cultural commentary, and community engagement, and her creative collaborations frequently intersect with philanthropy. She served on DIFFA’s “Dining by Design” gala committee for eight years and is the co-creator of the inaugural “Legends & Luxury” event benefiting mental-health support, reflecting her belief that creativity is most powerful when it uplifts others.

Stylish, expressive, and endlessly imaginative, Claudia has a rare ability to transform ideas into meaningful experiences and to unite people through them. Whether designing a space, curating a gallery, or shaping a one-of-a-kind charitable event, she remains an essential voice in any setting where creativity and community meet.

Claudia holds a degree in Hotel Management and Culinary Arts from the Tourism School Klessheim in Salzburg, Austria, and a BA in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California
