Maraya’s focus for interior design is to create a place of relaxation – for families and friends to gather their energies together, as well as to receive inspiration. She enjoys designing in a variety of styles. She says, “Any particular style can become true art and outstanding design. The key is to listen to your client and find out what really moves them emotionally. Once you understand that, you can turn their preferences into any style: from an inspiring, beautiful estate to an outrageous, cutting-edge penthouse or peaceful, simple retreat.” Maraya loves to travel  and to use her imagination and passion for design to help her clients create a lasting, personal space in this fast paced world!
