What happens when you mix fierce female leadership, relentless creativity, and an obsession with elevated spaces—and anchor it all in purpose with God? You get Studio 790, the woman-owned interior design firm.


We’re not your typical Miami interior design firm—we’re a women-owned powerhouse built on vision, grit, and a whole lot of faith. Founded in 2019 by me, Ann Lopez, after two decades in the luxury hotel world (think W Hotels and St. Regis), Studio 790 started with one bold decision to walk away from corporate… and walk into calling.

From Farm Town to Forbes to Formula 1


It was all a dream...until it was reality.

I didn’t grow up surrounded by design. I grew up in a small farm town with big dreams, strong faith, and a fire to build something that mattered. After years of helping global brands tell their story, I realized God was nudging me to build my own. So in 2029 I took the leap—and launched Studio 790 with a laptop, a vision, and the belief that when God opens a door, you walk through it.


Fast forward to today: we’ve been named one of the fastest-growing design firms in the country (hello, Inc. 5000 list!), have been featured in HGTV Magazine and Architectural Digest and I can confidently say every win, every opportunity, and every dream-turned-reality has been by the grace of God.

Top Woman-Owned Interior Design Firms in Florida


All Women. All In.

Our team? All women. All exceptional. All fully committed to excellence.


From our designers and client services director to our operations leads and procurement rockstars—we’re not just coworkers, we’re co-builders. We hype each other up, hold each other down, and stay rooted in the kind of culture where talent thrives and people feel seen. And we don’t just celebrate the work—we honor the heart behind it.




Our Clients: From F1 to Forever Homes


And a lot more in between.

We’ve had the honor of designing for some of the world’s most recognized names—Formula 1 Paddock Club, Raising Cane’s, W Hotels, JP Morgan, and hundreds of private clients who’ve trusted us with their homes, dreams, and brands. But no matter the project scale, our goal is the same: to create spaces that feel meaningful, intentional, and deeply human.

What Makes Studio 790 Different


We combine creative intuition with serious strategy.

We love good design, but we also love good process. And while we’re relentless about the details, we also know we don’t do this alone. We give credit where it’s due—and for us, that means giving glory to God. Every open door, every connection, every breakthrough moment has His fingerprints on it. This firm has always been more than a business—it’s a story He’s writing, and we just get to be part of it.


Why Faith and Design Go Hand in Hand


The Best Is Still Ahead

We’re growing, dreaming bigger, and stepping into new seasons with full hearts and open, praying hands. Whether it’s mentoring the next generation of designers, launching a course to teach what we’ve learned, or simply showing up with excellence for our clients—we’re committed to doing it with purpose.

So here’s to designing with intention. To leading with heart. And to building something that lasts.
