The Studio

KIN is the creative practice of Dylan Turk—a studio exploring how art, design, and brand can create cultural meaning.

Our work spans disciplines and geographies: architectural strategy, creative direction, cultural consultancy, art advising, and public art.

We collaborate with individuals, museums, luxury brands, and visionary leaders to translate ideas into experiences that define place and identity.

Beyond the studio, Dylan’s ongoing writing examines beauty, ambition, and the creative economy—exploring the human side of art and labor.

His Substack, Dirty Hustle, offers a candid, lyrical look at what it means to build a life in culture.

Dylan Turk is a cultural strategist, curator, and creative director working at the intersection of art, design, and cultural experience.

For over a decade, Dylan directed creative vision for museums, luxury hospitality, Fortune 100 companies, private collections and foundations, and cultural designations worldwide. At Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, he shaped architectural icons from Moshe Safdie to Frank Lloyd Wright. Later, through KIN, he advised some of the world’s most prominent families and collaborated with leading architects, designers, and galleries to integrate fine art and cultural storytelling into high-investment spaces, luxury residences, and branded environments.

His work is defined by resonance rather than surface—spaces and identities conceived to hold memory, provoke emotion, and project significance. Each project is both an experience and a statement of identity.

Beauty is the excuse. Obsession the fuel. Confession the cure.
