The studio belongs to the Marriott Recommended Designer Program for the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), covering select-service and full-service brands. Its approach layers colour, pattern, shape and texture, and it works closely with each client, so the result follows the brand or the owner rather than the designer. The team is sized to each project.
