About Us MS Studio
Who We Are
Intentional Design for Real Life
What began as a fashion driven brand built on craftsmanship and community has grown into a studio practice focused on styling, curated experiences, and creative direction spanning personal spaces, brands, and real life moments.
From interiors and personal spaces to brand identities, visual storytelling, and curated moments, each project is approached with clarity, restraint, and a strong point of view. The goal is simple: to create work that feels aligned, elevated, and unmistakably intentional.
The Founder
Caitlyn Cuadra
MS Studio is led by Caitlyn Cuadra, a creative director, stylist, and entrepreneur based in California. With a background spanning brand-building, interiors, retail, and hospitality, Caitlyn brings a holistic perspective to every project balancing strategy with intuition, and structure with creativity.
Her approach has been shaped by years of building and evolving Malt + Stone and The Spruce Edit, alongside other creative ventures rooted in space, experience, and storytelling.
MS Studio is the natural continuation of that journey refined, expanded, and deeply personal.
The Legacy A Foundation of Creativity
Malt + Stone remains the foundation a chapter defined by creativity, community, and growth. MS Studio carries that legacy forward, translating it into a broader creative practice designed for today and built for what’s next.
MS Studio is Where Lifestyle Meets
Real Life Solutions, Tested, Lived In, and Refined
MS Studio stands for Material & Space. We believe real-life style lives where function meets feeling. Whether through fashion, interiors, events, or brand storytelling, our work is designed to support everyday life school drop-offs, workdays, travel, celebrations, and everything in between. Instead of chasing trends, we focus on intentional choices, thoughtful edits, and systems that work for real bodies, real schedules, and real spaces.
MS Studio is where style is worn, tested, lived in, and refined.
