. Here is a glimpse of a few of our recent projects...
What our clients say...
"The space Mary designed for me exceeded all my expectations. From the beginning, it was clear that Mary wanted the space to reflect not just my needs but also my personality. We met several times and worked together to design a space that fit our property, our needs, and our budget. Mary was great to communicate with and kept us informed in all steps of the process.
As a designer, Mary is gifted at listening to a client and creating a vision with them. From picking out colors, to artwork, to fixtures, and furniture, I could see that Mary and I were on the same page. Not because our aesthetics are necessarily identical, but because Mary is so good at understanding her clients and helping them make a space more beautiful than they could ever imagine.
What Mary and David created for us is an incredible addition to our property and my new favorite place in the whole world. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

As an Interior Designer...
I am here to create a design that helps you get the most fulfillment out of your space.
Together we dive deep into what is currently working and not working for you. If you’re designing from scratch we discuss what your vision is and how you can see your self using your new space.
We discover inspiration for your personal design style and develop a unique design language by drawing from examples of existing design styles. We work through design challenges and bring more intentional energy flow into your space by creating an optimal layout.
I am here to guide you through every step of the process to make sure your project turns out beautifully.

Home Sanctuary Designer
My design studio is currently based out of MAH Creative in Peñasco, NM.
I work with clients locally in New Mexico and remotely via zoom.
I provide a design plan and instructions to your contractor & crew or even YOU if you're interested in doing some work yourself to save on labor costs.
If you are located in Northern New Mexico and choose to work with me, I can provide recommendations for craftspeople that I work with regularly.
My favorite person to work with
(as well as my favorite person in the world) is my husband David Hines. ​ David is a fine woodworker, who offers custom woodwork, and finish carpentry. Most of the work on this site are projects that we have collaborated on together. In the past few years David has transitioned from working in film industry in New York to building and renovating homes together in New Mexico. He continues to blow my mind with his love of researching and quickly mastering new tools and techniques. He has been the backbone to bringing many of my designs to life.
His specialties include:
- custom cabinetry
- custom doors
- custom built ins
- custom trim
- custom furniture ​
We are available for hire individually and as a dream team. ​

How I work....
CONSULTATION - The consulting process consists of asking a lot of important questions to help you get clear on your goals to create a customized design plan.
MOOD BOARD - We develop a mood board with
inspiration images, materials, textures and objects that create the aesthetic of your space.
3D MODELING - I provide a 3D model to achieve an optimal layout which then becomes a map for the specifications of the design.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT - I act as project manager, selecting and making recommendations for materials and furnishings within your budget. I update the budget with actual materials costs throughout the project and provide reports.
COMMUNICATION- I work with project builders or contractors to make sure the project comes out according to design specifications. I will work with you as a client to keep you included in important design choices along the way.
STYLING - I bring it all together in the end by furnishing, styling and applying the finishing touches to the space.
Hiring a good designer is an act of SELF LOVE
to make sure that you get the most out of your investment.
I look forward to learning about your project and providing you with a custom quote based on your budget.
