Quiet Coast, llc is a full service Interior Design studio founded by Designer and Artist Kim Hoppe. With over 14 years of professional experience, Kim specializes in full-scale remodels, kitchen and bathroom design, floor plan layouts, construction documentation, and the selection of fixtures and finishes.

Originally from Idaho, Kim earned her Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from the CIDA-accredited program at the University of Idaho, where she also studied architecture and art. She began her career in Seattle at the multi-disciplinary architecture firm G.G.L.O., working on large-scale multi-family housing and high-end residential projects.

Drawn to historic home preservation, Kim later relocated to the charming seaport town of Port Townsend, Washington. There, she spent four years working under architect Cate Comerford, contributing to the restoration of historic homes, most notably the 1865 Fowler House (the oldest stick-built house in Port Townsend), the 1873 Learned House, the 1888 Taylor St. Victorian and many projects at Fort Worden State Park. Her work during this time also included new homes, additions, and ADUs—guiding each project from concept through construction.

Founded in 2019, Quiet Coast was created to continue Kim’s passion for preserving the character of older homes while bringing warmth, charm, and functionality to new builds and remodels. Every project begins with a deep understanding of the client’s lifestyle and vision, resulting in spaces that feel intentional and personal.

Kim now resides in the coastal town of Carpinteria, California, while continuing to work remotely on Pacific Northwest projects. In addition to her design practice, Kim is also an artist (@kimhoppeee) and has recently been creating large-scale murals that reflect her love of nostalgic colors and imagery that feels both familiar and universal, bringing a sense of home and belonging to each piece.
