Studio 790 Interior Design has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, ranking No. 1,464, placing the firm in the top 30% of the fastest-growing private companies in America.


Now for the fun part: This is the second time Studio 790 has made the list.


We first made the list in 2024. Making it again, two years later, told us something we needed to hear: this wasn't a fluke. It's a pattern. And patterns are built by people.


The number is nice. The story is better.


Founder Ann Lopez started Studio 790 at 40, walking away from a 20-year corporate career with no design degree and no MBA, just a conviction that this was the work she was made to do. Almost eight years later, that decision has turned into an all women-led team serving clients across residential, commercial, hospitality and event design throughout South Florida, with a portfolio that includes Formula 1, W Hotels, Raising Cane's and Miami-Dade College.


How the Inc. 5000 actually works


The Inc. 5000 isn't a popularity contest or a nomination list. Companies apply directly, then submit CEO-signed and third-party-verified financial statements covering a three-year revenue window. Inc.'s research team does a second round of editorial vetting on top of that, background checks, founder interviews, and standard editorial scrutiny for accuracy and transparency. Learn more about their methodology here.


The ranking itself comes down to one number: percentage revenue growth from the base year to the most recent fiscal year. Out of thousands of applicants, only 5,000 companies made this year's list. We're No. 1,464 of them.


What actually drives growth like this


If you ask our team why, you won't hear "hustle" or "grind." You'll hear about a culture built on one of our brand values: no ego, amigo. Client forward before ego forward. People first, profit second. Success at Studio 790 isn't just measured in revenue, it's measured in the joy our team feels doing the work, and in what our Clients say about us when we're not in the room.


Faith has also been part of this company's DNA from day one. Prayer meetings before big decisions. Gratitude in the hard seasons, not just the celebratory ones. A belief that the next right step is enough, even when the whole path isn't visible yet.


Thank you

To our Clients, thank you for trusting us with your homes, your businesses and your biggest milestones. Every renovation, every install, every "is this real life" moment along the way happened because you said yes to us first.


To our team, this is yours. Every single one of you built this number, one project, one late night, one client call at a time. What started as one woman show turned into something we could of never imagined.

The growth and success would not be possible without you. We are so thankful and grateful for your yes!


And to every other company on this year's Inc. 5000 list, congratulations. Building something that grows this fast, this consistently, in this economy, is genuinely hard. We're proud to be on the list alongside you.

We're not slowing down. If anything, this is confirmation to keep going.
