Gavin Brodin on Shifting Mindsets in Luxury Design Designer to the stars Gavin Brodin discusses moving to LA and how his clients' mindsets are changing. By Sophie Killip | January 22 2021 Designer and artist Gavin Brodin is the person whom celebrities, financiers and other high-profile individuals come to when they want to create an impeccably designed space. Originally from London, Brodin now lives and works in Los Angeles; he’s the founder and principal of Brodin Design Build, a property developer that specializes in projects “valued in excess of $10 million.” Though Brodin’s name now conjures images of luxurious interiors, this designer to the stars – previous clients include Sir Rod Stewart and Sylvester Stallone – has a career with a very humble start.
