About us<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We’re a small studio with a simple mission: create rooms that feel as good to live in as they look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inspiro started in 2014 in a single rented studio, with founder Maya Ellison taking on her first residential project after years working as an architect at a large commercial firm. She wanted to build something smaller and more personal \u2014 a studio where every client got direct access to the person actually designing their space, not a hand-off to a junior team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That principle hasn’t changed. Over a decade later, Inspiro has grown to a team of designers, coordinators, and trade partners, but every project still runs through the same hands-on process Maya built the studio on: listen first, design second, and never compromise on the details that make a space feel like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We don’t believe in one signature look. Every project starts from scratch \u2014 your habits, your collection, your view, your budget \u2014 because a space designed around trends stops working the moment the trend changes. Our job is to translate how you actually live into a room that works, and make it beautiful while we’re at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya holds a B.Arch from UCL and spent five years as an architect before founding Inspiro in 2014. Her background in architecture shows in her approach \u2014 she thinks in terms of light, flow, and structure first, then layers in the warmth and texture that make a space feel personal. Maya leads the creative direction on every Inspiro project and is still involved from the first client meeting through final styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work has been featured in Dwell, Elle Decor, and Architectural Digest, and she was awarded the 2023 City Design Excellence Award for her renovation of the Harbor Loft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I still walk every finished space before a client sees it. If it doesn’t feel right to me, it’s not done.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WE STAND FOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Values<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

01. Listen First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every project begins with understanding how you live, not what’s trending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

03. Communicate Clearly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You’ll always know what’s happening, what it costs, and what’s next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

02. Design With Intention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every material, layout, and finish choice has a reason behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

04. Build to Last<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We design spaces meant to be lived in for years, not just photographed once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
