Meet The Team
Marbel A. Noguera
Designer / Project Manager
Marbel was born and raised in Nicaragua and came to the United States at 11 years of age and has resided in San Francisco ever since. She has always been passionate about Interior Design. Which is why, when she enrolled at San Francisco State University, she already knew she wanted to pursuit her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Marbel believes that Interior Design is much more than designing for aesthetic appearance. It must consider how spaces work, how they deliver a message, and how individuals respond to this when conducting their daily lives. It is her goal to enhance the lives of individuals by applying all of these concepts when designing a space.
