Jeff Trotter is the Founder and Principal Designer of Jeff Trotter Design (JTD), a Los Angeles-based interior design studio known for crafting timeless spaces designed to feel. His work reflects a refined approach, layering sophistication, contrast, and livable luxury. His interiors reflect a signature sensibility: tailored, tonal, and elevated with intention, while remaining distinctly personal to each project. His work has been featured in ELLE Decor, LUXE, CNN, and other leading design and lifestyle outlets.
Trotter studied at UCLA and founded Jeff Trotter Design to bring his distinct point of view to full-scale interiors. Within just a few years, he won the prestigious La Cienega Design Quarter Legends Showcase. His work now spans coast to coast, with projects in Los Angeles, Palm Beach, and beyond.
He is also the creator of JTD SKIN SURF and JTD STONE SURF, two collections of high-design, high-performance surfboards that merge sculptural form with true functionality. Inspired by materials like crocodile skin and natural stone, each board channels the synergy between style and sport. Designed to be surfed or displayed as collectible statement pieces, these limited-edition boards have sold around the world and remain a signature frequency of the Jeff Trotter Design ethos, bridging interiors, objects, and energy into one cohesive vision. His growing product portfolio also includes CARVE x JTD, a refined collection of stone fireplaces, tile, and architectural details.
Trotter’s most recent venture, The Energy of Design™, is a conceptual extension of his work, where aesthetics meet energy and beauty meets intention. It explores how space, objects, and alignment converge, and where form becomes feeling. It’s the quiet hum beneath everything he creates. A shop. A philosophy. A frequency x JTD.
