Meet Dariana Santayygo Our Lead Designer…

Meet Dariana, a Memphis native and graduate of Belmont University, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design. She began with the firm as an intern, immersed in client presentations, installations, and the rhythm of project planning—an experience that continues to inform her intuitive, detail-minded approach. Dariana’s aesthetic is shaped by the romance of the natural world, drawing from florals, historic architecture, and fashion to create spaces that feel layered and timeless. Outside the studio, she is often found at hot yoga or Pilates, arranging fresh bouquets, antiquing, or seeking inspiration in cities she loves, including Charleston, Siena, and Paris.
