About
Haywood Design is the creative practice of Eva Bassett.
My design philosophy is simple, to design spaces thoughtfully built around the way you actually live.
Aesthetic. Functional. Made to be lived in.
A Hermosa Beach local, I bring over 15 years of project management and operations to every project, honed through my career as a sports executive in the NHL and MLS. Design and creativity have always been a part of who I am, whether at work where I was designing the lounge and waiting area for the team’s General Manager, or in my personal life as the person my friends turned to for interior design and personal styling advice.
I started Haywood Design in 2025 to bring creativity into my daily life, not just as a means of personal expression, but as a skill I could use to realize spaces for others. Today I work with residential and commercial clients across Los Angeles and Orange County.
Haywood Design is boutique by intention. I take on a select number of projects at a time because you work with me directly every step of the way. No signature formula, no predetermined aesthetic. My process is tailored to each client.
If you’re looking for a designer who values the practical function of your space as much as the aesthetic of it, I’d love to hear from you.
