About

ABOUT MS STUDIO

MS STUDIO is a creative studio by Caitlyn Cuadra, rooted in the evolution of Malt + Stone and shaped by years of hands-on creative work.

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.

MS STUDIO exists at the intersection of aesthetics and intention. We believe how something looks should always support how it feels and how it functions. Our work is thoughtful, layered, and grounded in real world use , never purely visual, always considered.

WHAT WE DO

MS STUDIO blends styling, creative direction, and experiential design to shape environments and ideas that feel cohesive and lived in.

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

MS STUDIO is led by Caitlyn Cuadra, a creative director, stylist, and entrepreneur based in California.

With a background in brand-building, interiors, retail, and hospitality, Caitlyn brings a holistic perspective to every project, balancing strategy with intuition, and structure with creativity. Her approach is shaped by years of building and evolving Malt + Stone, 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

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.
