Kerry Reardon has spent decades shaping and transforming spaces with a deep passion for personalized environments. It’s hard to keep track of all the moments that have shaped her NYC design career, from developing & installing countless sets and still lifes to documenting people, lifestyles and nature. Simply revering the unplanned beauty of the mundane and gravitating toward the unexpected situations plopped onto her lap is welcomed—like hauling caged chickens on a dusty bus in Zambia.

What always stands out, however, is her drive to offer a personal perspective, grounded in the belief that her unique viewpoint can truly make a difference.

Her love for photography + design deepened during solo travels, where she encountered the beauty of simplicity in remote cultures and diverse ecologies. These experiences helped her hone a refined perspective on both design and humanity, always blending aesthetics with humility. Whether traveling alone or collaborating with talented photo crews, by exploring extraordinary locations, Kerry's experiences have broadened and sharpened her design sensibilities.

This passion for curating and enhancing her surroundings seamlessly flows into her daily life, where she finds joy in expressing the smallest details. “Silly as it sounds,” she admits, “I often find myself beautifying & tweaking my surroundings—like transplanting forest moss on our Adirondack cabin property. It’s the curse of being a stylist I suppose.”

Kerry’s eye for design has been shaped by an eclectic mix of influences. Growing up in Kansas City with open-minded parents who embraced adventure—often asking, “Which way, kids? To the desert or toward the mountains?”—and alongside two sisters who shared a love for creative play, Kerry was immersed in an environment that celebrated curiosity and imagination. The trio often turned everyday objects into new forms of art, whether by using a Super 8 camera to film their own creations or repurposing materials to create intricate backdrops.

By the time she graduated high school and received a Pentax K1000 camera, Kerry had already started developing a personal connection with the world of design and creativity—a connection that still propels her today.

Her passion for designing environments extends alongside her husband & artist Gonzalo Pita, where they’ve worked on a range of renovation projects (and stuck it out), including their light flooded turn of the c. Buenos Aires apartment, their classic 1950s cabin in the Adirondacks, and their Finnish-built apartment in Sunset Park, Brooklyn—a historic 1926 building recognized as the first co-op in the U.S. (All considered labors of love.)
