About Studio Marasa
In the Philippines, we say 'marasa' (in Tagalog: ‘malasa’) to describe something ‘tasteful’ – a word that perfectly captures how a well-designed space should feel: rich in meaning and satisfying to the soul. At Studio Marasa, we believe that creating spaces isn't just about visual appeal; it's about understanding how each element orchestrates your daily life, making the ordinary extraordinary. Let's craft your space together, honoring what you have while enhancing how you live.
Studio Marasa provides personalized interior design services for both new and existing homes in the Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, and Sacramento, California areas and beyond through E-design. Studio Marasa is proudly a woman-owned, POC-owned business.
Kumusta! I'm Mara, a Filipino American interior designer, art enthusiast, and mom of 2, who believes beautiful spaces shouldn't break the bank. I specialize in interior transformations that work with what you already have – because sometimes the most meaningful designs come from reimagining the pieces that already tell your story.
Having earned my Interior Design degree and practiced in the Philippines before building my career in the US, I bring something unique to the table – a blend of professional expertise and genuine understanding that makes all the difference in your space.
What sets my approach apart:
I treat your home (and budget!) like my own
Every solution marries professional know-how with real-life practicality
Your background and traditions aren't just appreciated – they're woven into the design
Smart, budget-friendly recommendations that make sense
Flexible collaboration that fits your schedule
Most importantly? A genuine love for helping you create spaces you'll adore
Whether you need a fresh perspective on furniture placement or dream of completely transforming your space, I'm here to guide you. Let's work with what you have and thoughtfully add elements that make your daily life both beautiful and functional.
