Una Nixson Hopkins

Una Nixson Hopkins (November 17, 1869 – September 8, 1956) was an American writer and designer, and an art director who worked in silent films.

[5] "No trouble is too great for her to take," a 1908 profile explained of her interior decorating work, "and she often spends weeks hunting the shops for some shade or texture to give the needed bit of sheen or color to a room.

[8] The Los Angeles Herald described Hopkins in 1910 as "one of the successful women writers of the West," adding that she was helping to promote Southern California to Eastern audiences.

[10] She also contributed short stories and articles on interior design to magazines, especially Ladies' Home Journal,[11][12] House Beautiful, The Craftsman, and Country Life in America.

"Hopkins seemed especially interested in the problems that single working women faced in obtaining suitable housing," noted architectural historian Leland M.
