After launching his business approximately a decade ago, when he was 21 years old, Los Angeles-based interior designer Ryan Saghian has emerged as one of his era’s biggest talents.

His career was celebrated with an inaugural Stars on the Rise Award at the 23rd annual Stars of Design Ceremony at the Pacific Design Center.

Saghian designed the interior and outside living spaces of Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum’s Palm Springs home.

The Stars of Design awards honor the West Coast’s most dynamic talents in architecture, interior design, photography, art, landscape design and product design. Stars on the Rise is the newest category.

While accepting his award, Saghian said that growing up in Los Angeles, the Pacific Design Center was the holy grail of design.

“It’s surreal to receive an award of this stature, in the place I have admired for so many years,” he said. “To be recognized by my peers is an incredible honor.”

West Hollywood Mayor Sepi Shyne presented a proclamation for the Pacific Design Center at the beginning of the event.
