Emely Montes de Oca
Hello!
My name is Emely Montes de Oca, a Miami native with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from Valdosta State University. I have experience designing residential and commercial spaces, collaborating with renowned brands like Fendi Casa and B&B Italia My background includes space planning, material selection, and creating detailed 2D and 3D renderings that bring designs to life
Growing up, I was drawn to creativity, often repurposing recyclable materials into accessories. This passion for innovation led me to pursue Interior Design, inspired by daily viewings of HGTV. While the channel only scratched the surface of the design world, it fueled my journey to becoming a thoughtful, sustainable designer
My goal is to craft timeless, functional spaces that elevate everyday living. Using a minimalist approach with sustainability at its core, I strive to create environments tailored to each client s unique needs. The following projects highlight my dedication to design and problem-solving across diverse spaces.

This design was created for a client’s luxury retail space, where the goal was to blend elevated minimalism with functionality, tailored specifically to the needs of a high-end environment We maximized storage solutions throughout the space without compromising on its sleek, timeless appeal By incorporating concealed storage and strategically placed shelving, we ensured the space remained uncluttered while providing ample room for inventory and retail displays The warm wood tones and travertine-like flooring offer a welcoming foundation, while the black accents and integrated lighting elevate the overall atmosphere Thoughtful spatial planning divides the space into distinct zones, including a lounge, bar area, and curated retail sections, all harmonizing to create a cohesive and luxurious experience.
