Mara Blog
Some of my best design ideas don't come from a studio—they come from exploring the world with my husband, Rob. This blog is a collection of the places, people, architecture, and experiences that inspire my work and remind me that great design begins with living well.

In Italy, beautiful places are not reserved for special occasions—they are simply where life happens.
