Hi, I’m Mariah Taylor, an interior designer and interior architect based in San Antonio. I bring 9 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning commercial build-outs, high-end residential projects, and construction project management. I blend hands-on drafting and modeling skills with a keen eye for materiality, spatial flow, and brand-driven environments. My background in civil engineering and construction gives me a practical perspective: I design with buildability in mind and deliver documentation that contractors can execute with clarity. I’m drawn to minimalism, natural materials, and narrative-driven spaces, shaped by cultural experiences across Uganda, Egypt, India, and the Caribbean. I’m currently pursuing NCIDQ certification through UCLA Extension.
