Studio Padruno is a design-forward interiors studio shaping spaces with soul, style, and a touch of edge. Born from Midwestern roots and refined through big-city living, our work blends approachable comfort with elevated design—creating interiors that feel as warm as they are sophisticated.
We believe great design tells a story. It’s not only about how a space looks, but how it lives, how it invites you in, inspires connection, and makes you want to stay a little longer. Our process is hands-on and deeply collaborative, rooted in curiosity and crafted with care. From concept to final detail, no two projects are ever the same. Each is layered, functional, and uniquely personal.
At Studio Padruno, we design interiors that honor both where you come from and where you’re headed. Spaces that feel collected, intentional, and unmistakably you.
About
Meet Michaela
Michaela is a passionate, creative interior designer and artist. With roots in the heart of Missouri, she brings her Midwest soul to Texas, blending warmth and authenticity with bold, curated design.
Her journey into interiors began through the arts. First studying Fine Arts before discovering her deep fascination with the intersection of beauty and functionality. This passion led her to pursue a degree in Architectural Studies with an Emphasis in Interior Design, accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), where she graduated with multiple awards from the University of Missouri.
Michaela has built a portfolio of layered, livable, and memorable spaces. This includes luxury residential homes, bespoke restaurant concepts, fitness facilities, and boutique retail and salon environments. Each project reflects her signature approach: a fusion of vibrant saturated colors, richly layered patterns and textures, and thoughtful personal details that tell the client’s story. She believes every design deserves a “smile moment”—a touch that makes the space both personal and unforgettable.
For Michaela, interiors are palpable art—something to be immersed in and fully experienced.
Through Studio Padruno, she channels her creativity, passion, and dedication into shaping spaces that leave a lasting impression on both the environments themselves and the people who inhabit them.
