The Story Behind Studio Solano's Founder

I've always been fascinated by how spaces come together.

​

As a child, I spent hours building with Legos and rearranging furniture, exploring how layout and design could change the way a space felt and functioned. Interior design became a natural path, combining creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Over the past sixteen years, I've worked on a wide range of hospitality projects, including full-service hotel renovations and new-build developments.

​

Studio Solano was created to offer a more personal and flexible approach to your design project, so that you can create a space that doesn’t just look beautiful, but makes people feel something. 

16+ Years of Hospitality Design Experience

Studio Solano is shaped by more than sixteen years of hospitality-focused design experience across a diverse portfolio of new construction and renovation projects.

The Studio Approach

The strongest spaces are shaped by intentional decisions. 

​

From concept development and planning to materials, furnishings, lighting, and finishing details, every element plays a role in bringing a vision to life.

​

The result is thoughtful design that balances story, function, and lasting impact.

​

Purpose in Every Detail

Collaboration is at the center of every project.

​

Whether leading a full design project or partnering with another firm as a creative resource, Studio Solano brings a flexible and thoughtful approach.

​

No matter the role, the focus remains the same: creating cohesive environments through clear communication, curiosity, and careful attention to detail.

Seamless Collaboration

At the end of a project, a design should feel like an extension of your brand, message, and identity.

​

You want to create a space that evokes feelings. We work to make sure we are not just designing beautiful spaces, but ones that feel aligned to your vision.

​

Let's create something memorable together.

Distinctive Impact

Where it all Comes together

The most rewarding part of the process comes at the very end.

​

After months of planning and collaboration, the space comes alive. Guests settle into a lounge. Friends gather around a table. Conversations unfold naturally within an environment that once existed only as an idea.

​

Creating spaces where people feel connected has inspired the work of Studio Solano for more than sixteen years

The goal is always the same: a space that lives beyond the design itself.
