The MP DESIGN Approach
Our approach combines a natural Italian eye for beauty with the precision-drafted plans and CAD documentation required for a seamless remodel. We bridge the gap between creative vision and the practical requirements of the construction phase and to satisfy code requirements to create functional, beautiful, and enduring interiors.

When I’m Not Designing… Since calling Kings Beach home in 2023, I’ve fully embraced the active Sierra lifestyle. When I’m not at my desk developing CAD plans, you’ll likely find me exploring the local trails, hiking, or snowboarding through a fresh Tahoe winter. I’m an avid photographer, always finding inspiration in the natural beauty of the lake. I also enjoy the slower pace of home life—cooking, staying fit, and volunteering in our wonderful North Tahoe community. Being fluent in English, Italian, German, and Spanish, I love connecting with people from all walks of life and sharing the many hobbies that make living in the mountains so rewarding.
