Built on firsthand experience in interior design.
Gabriella Maria & Co. is a procurement management firm created specifically for interior designers. We provide flexible, expert support so your studio's operations run as smoothly as the spaces you design.
A partner that speaks your language.
I spent seven years inside high-end residential and commercial design studios — running procurement, managing vendor relationships, and keeping projects on track from first proposal to final installation.
We understand both the creative vision and the meticulous execution required behind every project. That's what Gabriella Maria & Co. is built on: seamless operational support so you can stay focused on design.

Meet Gabriella
Gabriella Cardona
Principal & Owner, Gabriella Maria & Co.
I'm Gabriella Cardona, an Interior Designer with over seven years of experience in the industry, specializing in high-end residential design. I've taken projects from concept to installation — initial schemes and layouts, developed plans (floor, furniture, reflected ceiling, and electrical), finish selections, project documentation, curated construction sets, client presentations, procurement management, project management oversight, and leading installations. I've done it all.
I bring a unique blend of design knowledge and operational expertise, developed through my experience in boutique residential firms. My approach is rooted in strategy, organization, and efficiency.
My passion for this work comes from a deep love of both design and structure. I believe that when systems are thoughtfully built, creativity can truly thrive. I aim to help studios run seamlessly behind the scenes so what happens in front of the client is never compromised. My team is equally passionate and knowledgeable about both design and organization — bringing you the best of the best.
Outside of work, you'll likely find me obsessing over Formula 1 with my husband, or planning my next adventure — the travel bug strikes about every five to six weeks.
