Hi, I'm Mary Ann.
I am the creative mind behind Elephant Town Studio Interiors. Interior design isn't just a job for me; it's a lifelong passion that traces its roots back to my teenage years when I was captivated by the blueprints of my parents' new home. That fascination led me on a unique journey through civil engineering, architecture and fine art, where I realized my true calling: interior design. I look forward to bringing your vision to life, whether it is a bathroom remodel, a kitchen redo, fresh paint scheme or a complete home renovation.
My design philosophy is simple : interiors should mirror the essence of their owners, and beauty and functionality can coexist gracefully, even on a modest budget. Good design is also sustainable design. At Elephant Town Studio it translates to designing thoughtfully and for the long term - design that is going to stay relevant for a lifetime. It is also important for me to breathe new life into your existing treasures and reimagine vintage pieces.
Hailing from Kerala, South India, I draw inspiration from my rich cultural heritage, the craftsmanship of artisans, and the lush greenery that surrounds my roots. My travels, whether to the South of France, Marrakech, Japan, or all across India, infuse my designs with diverse flavors and textures. And I'm always on the lookout for fresh inspiration from fellow designers, trusted vendors, and the unique stories of my clients.
Beyond design, I'm an avid photographer, capturing unique perspectives during my travels. Gardening is another passion; I have a green thumb and love nurturing my plants. Estate sales and antique stores are my treasure troves, adorning my own home with their finds.
Collaborating with clients to unearth the exact emotions they want their spaces to evoke and then weaving those sentiments into reality is the most rewarding part of the design journey.
When you work with me, expect a streamlined, transparent process that guides you from our first contact to the final install. No question goes unanswered, and you'll always know what's coming next. I truly love design and believe that even the smallest change in your home can impact your lives in a positive way. Our goal is to create elevated, transitional interiors on a modest budget.
Let's embark on a design adventure together!
