RESTORATIVE DESIGN FOR ELEVATED HUMAN EXPERIENCE

We design restorative spaces that fuel purpose, elevate performance, and support the well-being of the exceptional.

OUR MISSION   

Design isn’t just about beauty — it’s about impact.
At Mercedes Quintanilla Design Studio, we craft living and workplace experiences that nourish the soul and well-being of exceptional leaders.

We design around people — their needs, behaviors, and purpose. 

We integrate ergonomic and sensory principles to support well-being. 

Spaces engineered to empower clarity, leadership, and results. 

Elevated beauty that inspires and aligns with success. 

PHILOSOPHY  

By seamlessly integrating human-centered, biophilic, and ergonomic design principles, we create environments that restore balance, elevate performance, and enhance everyday life. This is achieved through our proven, 15-step project management process, ensuring every project exceeds expectations and drives success.

OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Human-Centered Strategy

Aesthetic Intelligence

Restorative Functionality

Performance-Driven Design

Based in Atlanta, GA, and El Salvador, we work with high-performing professionals, executives, leaders, and visionaries — both Latinx and global citizens — who seek more than luxury. Whether it’s transforming an existing home, designing a new home build, enhancing a personal office, or optimizing team workspaces, we create environments that empower our clients to thrive.

We design from two vibrant cities:  Atlanta, US. and San Salvador (El Salvador, Central America). These locations shape our perspective — blending Latin warmth and international sophistication into every space we create. Con Alma.
