Maria did an absolutely stellar job designing our brand new Brooklyn art and event space, the Delight Factory. People come into the space and are blown away every time. Maria is a visionary, bends over backwards to find solutions for our quirky wishes, and elevates them even further. Her process is solid, on a macro and micro level, and she brings absolute commitment and great joy to her work. Her expertise in sustainable materials is immense, which is the way of the future and aligned with our vision. This was my first time doing a project of this scale and she guided us through it with patience and skill. She listened deeply to us and our vision, fine-tuning it with us with each conversation. With hundreds of decisions to make, I was amazed at how well she managed to pre-select materials and items (sinks, shades, tiles, cushions, etc.) for us to choose from, helping us make conscious design choices with ease.
Maria stayed with us from beginning to end, always moving things along with the architect, vendors, artists, contractors, and us. I can't sing Maria's praises enough. I'll be eternally grateful to her and happy to answer any of your questions. I would hire Maria again in a heartbeat. More...

Finding respite in a busy city is no small task, but Maria's vision brought to life an unexpected oasis hidden in the concrete walls of NYC. As a health & wellness practitioner, I know how deeply people are affected by their surroundings and the backdrop she created is both serene and stunning. Her attention to detail is exceptional, in the flow of the space, the way light carries through wall panels, and how the plant world interplays with each corner. All my patients and I breath a large sigh of content when walking through those doors, into this unique and calm splendor. More...

Maria restyled our collection of art, objects and flora throughout our home including my home office and a spectacular mantlepiece composition, each object selected intentionally and placed just so. Her artful hand and expert eye created beauty, balance and flow in our home. I look forward to engaging her again and would highly recommend her for high levels of skill, knowledge and taste.

Maria's beautiful biophilic approach to design work, kind guidance, resourcefulness, and clarity helped us (new business owners with limited experience of working on a project of this scale and complexity) realize our dream of creating The Delight Factory--an art gallery and event space for music, dance, soulful exploration and play located in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn, NY. She was a perfect guide, walking us through every step of the process from learning about our brand vision, perspective, and needs, to ideation and exploration of different design directions, to researching and finding beautiful materials, fixtures, and fittings, to helping us select the best fit for our space, to the implementation of a unique and beautiful design, and to helping us identify and hire the contractors who would build it. She stayed connected throughout the long process of the build (thanks, Covid), helping us brainstorm solutions when challenges arose, and communicating with our contractor when they had questions or needed guidance. Maria always had our broader vision in mind, even when dealing with the most minor of details. She helped us create something unique, and special, and we're incredibly grateful and indebted to her for it. If you want to see how amazing her design work is, come visit us in Brooklyn. We'll happily show you. More...

I wasn’t sure if remote design would work, it seemed like something that needs to be done in the space. But Maria made it easy for me and she came up with something better than I imagined! With only one conversation, a video chat and some inspo pictures I found, she got our style exactly right and helped us figure out a challenging floor plan for our new living room. We moved into a new house while I was pregnant and in the middle of the pandemic. Maria made my life much easier and stayed within our budget. She gracefully and effortlessly made our house a home. She's a genius!! I wish I could leave 6/5 stars!!! More...
