Linda designs residential interior spaces to nourish the heart, mind, and soul. As a remodeling contractor and budding meditation teacher, Linda is committed to the recognition of beauty and function. Since childhood, she has been compelled by the creative interconnectedness of life. Linda grew up in the Pacific Northwest feeling deeply connected to the land, and nourished by traditional Native American wisdom shared by family friends. These elements wove dreams of creative expression with universal, timeless wisdom. Interior design was the perfect platform for this dream. After studying in Europe, New York, and Oregon, Marino Designs was born in 2001 with the vision to support clients through the process of creating deeply meaningful spaces. As Albert Hadley astutely said,
” The essence of interior design will always be about the people and how they live.”
For Linda, weaving personal art, family heirlooms, and objects that connect us to the wisdom of our ancestors, with modern design sensitivities, most easily allows inspired and unique designs to spring to life.
Linda seeks to understand how clients live and love. She spends time with clients in order to connect with what is important to them and how they wish to feel and function in their spaces. To Linda, the most harmonious and impactful design arises when heart, mind, and soul are tended.
