About

I’m Montse Merino, a Barcelona-born interior designer based in Sydney. My practice is rooted in interior architecture with a focus on spatial thinking, materiality and environmentally responsive, human-centered design. I work across studio, retail and client-facing environments, translating briefs into spaces that are both functional and inviting.

I collaborate closely with teams and clients to develop thoughtful concepts through research, prototyping and hands-on delivery, always aiming to create environments that feel true to people and place.
