About id+l studio

At id+l studio, design isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. We bring genuine passion, deep expertise, and creative energy to every project we take on.

With over 20 years of experience in interior and lighting design, founder Kerry Cochran has developed an intuitive ability to interpret and elevate her clients’ visions. We believe the design process should be exciting, inspiring, and collaborative, and we’re here as your trusted partner every step of the way, from initial concept to final installation.

Rooted in East Sacramento and deeply connected to Northern California’s design and building community, we work with a curated network of talented artisans, architects, builders, and trade partners. These long-standing relationships ensure that every detail, from finishes to furnishings to lighting, is expertly executed.

A California native with a lifelong passion for art and architecture, Kerry began her creative journey with aspirations of becoming an architect. In her 20s, she discovered a deep love for interior and lighting design — and has been immersed in the world of design ever since.

Before founding id+l studio (formerly Kerry Ellis Design) in 2016, Kerry spent over a decade at a luxury Northern California design firm, where she specialized in high-end residential, restaurant, and lighting design. Her work is defined by a thoughtful balance of form and function, with an emphasis on detail, atmosphere, and personal connection.

Based in Sacramento, Kerry is also a dedicated traveler who draws inspiration from around the world. She regularly attends leading design and lighting trade shows across Europe and North America, bringing a fresh, global perspective to every project.

Kerry approaches each space with creativity, care, and a deep commitment to helping clients create interiors that feel beautifully personal, highly functional, and effortlessly timeless.

“Kerry is magic at looking at a space and reimagining the flow with the needs of the owner. Twice she has taken spaces that did not allow for additions and found clever and unique ways to vastly improve them for us. Not only making them more functional and livable, but also adding beauty.” - Alison A.
