Kelsi Ephraim is a Los Angeles based set decorator with over thirteen years of experience working across feature films, commercials, and music videos. Known for her meticulous eye for detail and her ability to build immersive, character-driven environments, Ephraim specializes in creating richly layered worlds that feel both fantastical and grounded in emotional realism. 

She frequently collaborates with her husband and creative partner, production designer Jason Kisvarday, sharing a design approach that emphasizes world-building through lived-in detail and a deep appreciation for the mundane. Together, they craft spaces that feel deeply inhabited rather than overtly designed. 

Her feature film credits include Everything Everywhere All at Once, Sorry to Bother You, Swiss Army Man, Palm Springs, MaXXXine, and The Legend of Ochi. Her work on Everything Everywhere All at Once received multiple industry honors, including awards from the Set Decorators Society of America and the Art Directors Guild. In addition to her on-set work, Ephraim regularly participates in panels and discussions on production design and set decoration, contributing to broader conversations about collaboration, authorship, and visual storytelling in contemporary cinema.
