Interior Design Firm | Design-Art | Grace Machado McClurg | Founding Principal | LEED AP

With 20 years of experience in both designing and leading teams at globally recognized and award-winning hospitality design firms, Grace founded Design-Art with a clear vision: to establish a firm that prioritizes flexibility, efficient processes, and an interpersonal approach to every project. 

Grace knew there was a gap in the market for a nimble design team that could bring the boutique aesthetic of hospitality design to the practical needs of budget-efficient projects, and Design-Art’s design philosophy was born. 

Currently residing in Arizona, Grace loves to travel the world, spend quality time with her husband and three children, and engage in lifelong learning through reading or watching documentaries.
