Kevin Francis O’Gara is inspired by a mix of traditional and contemporary design, and loves dogs, dinner parties, and big windows. Kevin is the brother of two sisters and the best friend of one spunky wired-hair fox terrier. With a childhood love for interior environments – especially homes, and after voraciously pinning interiors throughout his early teens, Kevin decided to create a platform to write and produce his own content. In 2013, he created Thou Swell, named after the famous jazz standard and inspired by the song’s spirit and nostalgia. In just a few years Thou Swell has become a destination for interior lovers and entertaining enthusiasts. Sharing home and garden, decorating, entertaining, and a little of his hometown Atlanta, Kevin shares his fresh eye for design and passion for beauty. Kevin is an undergraduate in Cornell University’s hospitality management program. With a passion for transformative design and development, his brings a unique residential perspective to projects ranging from interior design to product development.
