Anna Bassman

Founder + Principal Designer

Born and raised in Newport Beach, CA, Anna grew up surrounded by the world of design through her parents’ luxury design firm. After graduating from Pace University in Manhattan, she returned to Orange County and built a thriving career on the wholesale side of interior design. Today, she continues to excel in her sales executive role — a position she truly loves.

At the same time, Anna has always had a natural passion and eye for design. Over the years, she’s helped friends curate their homes and source stylish, affordable pieces from popular retailers like Wayfair, IKEA, and Target.

Studio Coalesce was born out of that passion — a creative side venture dedicated to helping post-graduates and young professionals achieve elevated, luxurious-looking spaces at a fraction of the cost. It’s Anna’s way of uniting her industry expertise with her love for making beautiful design accessible.

When she’s not at the office or sourcing the perfect piece of furniture, you can find Anna adventuring around the country with her boyfriend, soaking up the sun at the beach with friends, making music, painting, or enjoying a good book.

An interior is the natural projection of the soul.
