Hi, I’m Maria Bravo, a Madrid-based interior designer with over nine years of experience shaping hospitality and high-end residential projects. I love turning concepts into cohesive spaces, balancing functionality with mood, materiality, and lighting to deliver spaces that tell a story. I collaborate with international studios, lead concept development and technical documentation, and manage client presentations from sketches to renders. My practice blends hands-on project management with a creative eye, delivering FF&E selections and visual narratives that resonate with clients and teams.
