Mariana has a degree in Global Business from ASU W.P. Carey and an interior design accreditation from the American Institute of Interior Design. She got her first start working with a custom home builder in North Scottsdale in 2007.
She has always had an appreciation for art history and a curiosity about the source of the architecture and design styles that have inspired and continue to influence. Having an understanding and appreciation of a wide variety of styles from the classical to the different phases of the flowy and asymmetrical organic nature of art nouveau to more minimalist and functional International style enables her to create layered and interesting spaces.
She derives inspiration from travel, the fashion industry and  vintage and new design books.
