About Curio

Studio Curio was founded by Janell Widmer, a commercial and residential interior designer deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest. With a decade of experience designing and coordinating projects at renowned Portland architecture firms under her belt, she sought to create a practice that centers on the joy of design, and the thrill of possibility.

From workplace and public spaces to private homes, our process always begins in curiosity. We work with our clients to uncover guiding principals based in story, setting the project’s groundwork with deep intention and informing decisions large and small. We believe that the best design outcomes are results of close collaboration, earned trust, and shared curiosity.

By working with Studio Curio, you can expect:

  • A narrative-based design approach

  • An advocate and partner, from kick-off to punch walk

  • Thoughtful details, at every scale

  • Sustainability, longevity, and timelessness as a baseline
