ABOUT US

Founded by New Yorker and Creative Director Trish Preuss and California native and Biotechnologist Kevin Crispell, State of Mind Studio is a Brooklyn based Spatial Branding studio, the first of its kind. Merging data and design, the travel-loving duo brings their strengths together to breathe life into short-term rental properties around the world.

Human beings spend a vast majority of our lives in buildings. They have a huge impact on our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. We are interested in creating spaces that encourage human connection, relaxation, conversation, and movement. Just like no two sourdough starters are the same due to cultures in the air in each region, no two spaces are the same. We help create culture-rich, nature-connected spaces that feel authentic to you.

State of Mind Studio aims to transport you the second you and your guests enter your space, giving your short-term rental a makeover that stands the test of time and significantly increases your bookings.

FAQs

  • We go beyond interior design services, we work with clients on everything from data analytics to branding to marketing to interior design. We’re a one-stop-shop for short-term rentals, so instead of working with a design team, a marketing team, and an interior designer, we simplify the process. Our service is here to make your rental transformation hassle-free and custom to you.

  • We are not property managers, so no. But we can recommend property management services in your region. Our goal is to help you transform your rental so that you are increasing revenue and LTV for your space. We do not manage our clients’ properties, we help them transform them to high performing assets.

  • We work with clients who are serious about reaching their goals and are willing to invest financially into the growth of their property. Working with us is a $10K investment minimum. We structure fees based on our time spent, speed, travel, and custom work. We are offering a range of services that you’d pay twice as much for if you went to specialists for each need. We also always meet you where you’re at with your interior budget. We cover pricing in detail at the end of our consultation call, let’s chat!

  • We care deeply about sustainability, and we believe pre-loved pieces often have the most character. With that in mind, we will look for local vintage pieces that suit your style, but will always run final purchases by you. On top of that, we partner with several brands that allow for us to get business discounts for you, so rest assured we will always go the extra mile to make the most of your interior investment.

  • Yes! We live in Brooklyn but we’re always on the move. We work with clients all over the US (hold on baby, we’re going global soon). We make a point of getting to know your region, studying your market, and helping you achieve your dream property, no matter the location.

  • Good question! We do a lot, but we don’t manage your property, we don’t provide cleaning/linen services, and we don’t do major renovations. If we can make interior updates with a hammer, screwdriver, paintbrush, furniture swaps, styling choices, and art curation, it’s a go. If you need your floors redone, we will advise you on that but… that is not in our job description at this time. What we DO is transform your property from low performing to a money maker.
