Based in Newton, we are a full service interior design firm who manages projects from conceptualization to completion. We work on projects near and far, ranging from the Hamptons all the way up to Lake Winnipesaukee. Since 2016 our mission has been to create beautiful spaces that are approachable and timeless, while meeting the demands of everyday life. Along with Meg, there is a team of talented individuals who all play integral roles in the firm and are vital to each projects success. We are a group of kind people who are obsessed with design and enjoy the process. We love what we do!
ABOUT THE FIRM
MEET MEG
Meg’s years of experience in the design industry are starting to catch up with her! Having earned a degree in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design shortly after college, she spent the early part of her career working at residential firms in New England. In 2016, Meg officially launched MMI from a folding chair in her home. In all parts of life, Meg gravitates towards things that are comfortable, livable and meaningful. She is most proud of the kind, hardworking and creative team she has assembled, and feels privileged to help clients turn their house into a home.
Meg lives in Newton with her husband, daughters, and two dogs. She loves going to bed early (by 9:30p), watching ‘The Voice’ with her family, and still pinches herself when clients hire her.
Owner & Principal Designer
Our small but mighty team is one of our superpowers. We are tight-knit and obsessed with every detail of what we do — we aspire to create spaces that our clients will fall in love with and thrive within.

HILLARY
Procurement Coordinator
Hillary was born and raised in Dallas, TX. She grew up in the design world via her mother, so it runs deep in her blood. Hillary joined MMI in 2020 and is responsible for the procurement side of the design process which is integral to the operations at MMI. You can catch her proposing, purchasing and invoicing throughout the course of a project, using her detailed eye to keep track of items at any stage in the process.
Hillary moved to Boston to study vocal performance at Berklee College of Music and after experiencing her first lobster roll, and meeting her husband at the recording studio where she worked, she decided to become a northerner for good. Her Texan side still shines through when she sprinkles “y’all” casually into conversation and orders jalapeños on everything. Sheresides in Maine with her husband and their pitbull, Pickles.
