When the young founders of Instagram, the photo-sharing app, needed to design their San Francisco offices, they turned to another budding Bay Area entrepreneur: decorator Lauren Geremia. She had moved west after getting a painting degree from the Rhode Island School of Design and worked on interiors for several hip restaurants and bars, beginning with the urban-rustic sushi hot spot Umami. Establishing Geremia Design in 2010, she quickly became a favorite of the start-up set, with clients like Instagram and the file-hosting service Dropbox—which enlisted her to outfit its 89,000-square-foot headquarters—leading to a growing number of residential projects for newly minted tech titans. Geremia’s unconventional elements, whether a display of 900 paper airplanes stuck into a wall or an installation of tinted Ping-Pong balls sandwiched between sheets of glass, resonate with Silicon Valley’s work-hard–play-hard mentality. Geremia custom creates much of the furniture and art for her clients, and she is now developing a line of lighting. “I love curating talent, coming up with concepts, and editing ideas,” she says. “And then making them work for someone else.”
