Who We Are
You know what you love. You have a point of view, a life full of beautiful things, and a home that hasn’t quite caught up yet.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Andrea Freeman, founder of Authentik Home — and I’ve spent two decades ( and change) doing one thing with genuine intention: translating who you are into the space you live in.
My portfolio doesn’t follow a signature look because the signature has always been my client. Every project begins with deep listening and ends with a space that feels unmistakably like the person who lives in it.
The Work
High-end residential. Light commercial. Visual merchandising. Set design. Event production. Work alongside national, custom, and luxury furnishings brands.
Some people call that a winding road. I call it research.
My career has been wide on purpose : variety is my spice of life, and every discipline I’ve touched has made me a sharper, more resourceful designer. All of it lives in every project I take on. And all of it taught me something that no single specialty ever could, the importance of process, of deep listening, of an experience that feels as considered as the finished space. That’s why our process runs ten deliberate steps. A beautiful result doesn’t happen by accident.
A graduate of the Interior Designers Institute in Newport Beach, inaugural educator at BCD-IT University, and active mentor through the Fullerton College Interior Design Internship Program.
I take this craft seriously. I always have.
“What speaks to me every time — something handmade. A table with a maker behind it. Art with a story. Materials that tell you where they’ve been.”
The Network
Behind every Authentik Home project is a carefully curated network of trades, vendors, and manufacturers built over decades of real work and genuine relationships. Our trusted contractors, artisans, and workrooms are chosen not just for their skill but for their integrity, reliability, and shared commitment to exceptional results. Our sourcing reaches well beyond domestic markets, giving our clients access to materials, furnishings, and resources that simply aren’t available through retail channels.
These relationships didn’t happen overnight. They were earned project by project, built on trust and accountability and they are one of the most valuable things we bring to every collaboration. When you work with Authentik Home you’re not just hiring a designer. You’re gaining access to an entire ecosystem of professionals who are as invested in your project as we are.
A Few of My Favorite Things
01 — Desert drives with my husband Matt, windows down, no agenda
02 — Travel. Caribbean coastlines, Irish countryside, and everywhere in between
03 — Fullerton, my hometown and still my favorite place. Small town soul in the heart of Orange County. The arts, the community, the friends you run into without planning to.
04 — Historic homes and the stories they hold
05 — Vintage hunting. The thrill of finding the one.
06 — Museums and art galleries, where ideas live
07 — Hidden gem restaurants + a really good steak with a whiskey cocktail
08 — Freddy. My loveable weagle — part beagle, part dachshund, entirely in charge.
