Mia was born and raised in New York City with parents who worked in the commercial arts and design industries. At the age of 15 she was launched into a career as an actress in film and television and for 35 years she worked on sound stages and locations throughout America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.

This extensive travel and exposure to elaborate film sets, from fully realized forests made of polystyrene, to gilded minarets in Jaipur, Brutalist compound in Namibia, to stately homes in England, inspired and insatiable eye for design, and an awareness of the way it impacts the way we live, and feel.

An actors role in informed by the set, set dressing, and props. A character is enhanced, and sometimes defined by the right costume. Lighting not only allows us to see where we are, but sets the tone for the stories we want to tell. This is also true of the spaces in which we live and work, and the things we chose to put in them. Mia enjoys helping clients bring together the elements that reflect their unique stories, objects that nurture the creative spirit in the everyday, and the pleasure to be found in the considered detail, no matter how small.

Mia brings a love of collaboration, authentic materials, and a passion for discovering that unexpected piece that punctuates a room.
