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 Greater Sacramento, California areas and beyond through E-design. Studio Marasa is proudly a woman-owned, POC-owned business.
Hello! I'm Mara, an Interior Designer, art enthusiast, and mom of two 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 already in your home.
With an Interior Design degree and experience both teaching undergraduate design courses in the Philippines and building my career in the US, I bring something unique to the table: a blend of professional expertise, deep respect for heritage, and genuine understanding of how design shapes our experiences and well-being.
What sets my approach apart:
I treat your home and budget with the same care I would my own
Every solution combines professional expertise with real-world practicality
Your background and traditions aren't just appreciated—they're thoughtfully woven into the design
I provide smart, budget-friendly recommendations that make sense for your lifestyle
My flexible collaboration style adapts to your schedule
Most importantly, I bring a genuine passion for helping you create spaces you'll love
Whether you need a fresh perspective on furniture placement or dream of completely transforming your space, I'm here to guide you. Together, we'll work with what you have and thoughtfully add elements that make your daily life both beautiful and functional.
