About her…

Mina is an active consultant to Duke Renders but she spends most of her time running her interior design firm Interiors Tulum.

Mina’s style is influenced by her unique background growing up between Casablanca, Morocco and Los Angeles.

Her degree from USC (University of Southeastern California), along with her world travels and experience as a property manager for Airbnb’s, influence her design and decision-making process every step of the way.

Her Moroccan background adds a unique twist to her designs that goes well with the relaxed, Caribbean bohemian vibe that she works with so often.

She is driven by her love to take risks and try something new, and applies this philosophy to everything that she does in order to continuously adapt to the world around her, as well as to her client’s ever changing lifestyles and needs.

Working with people from different backgrounds energizes Mina as she loves to learn about their history and discover ways that she can help them enhance their lifestyle by designing homes that reflect their innermost desires, lifestyles, and dreams.

Style

Mina's signature style is a combination of Luxury, Contemporary & Bohemian with a Moroccan flare.

She loves to take risks and try new things and ensure that all of her designs are socially and environmentally conscious, which is what makes her style and methods unique and stand out.

Her work reflects extensive knowledge about local materials and she prides herself on offering her clients service that is professional, efficient, reliable and authentic.

What Makes Her Unique?

Mina’s Moroccan background, and her ability to add in Moroccan pieces to any and every project she works on, is what distinguishes her. It is because of this that she has come to create her niche, and oftentimes clients contact her specifically for this reason alone.

This style has come to define her firm, adding a unique twist to her designs that goes well with the relaxed, Caribbean bohemian vibe that she works with so often.
