Manal Kadry

Founder & Principal Designer

As the Principal Designer and name sake owner of her design firm, since 2014, Manal Kadry has been designing interior spaces. Her main focus is to oversea all the design projects from concept to completion. Manal's design approach relies on her in-depth knowledge and implementation of the design elements and principles. Her home designs completely bring the 'sense of peace' through the harmony of all the textures, colors, proportions and details coinciding in the space. With her impeccable eye for detail, she is a true visualizer with high expectations. She uses her knowledge of the design thinking process to problem solve effectively.

Manal Kadry graduated from College for Creative Studies in 2006 with a degree in Product Design, Interior Design and Art Education. In Detroit. She later earned her Leadership and Administrative degree where she has gained passion to direct projects, lead people and infuse her design background with everything she does. Through networking events over the years in a thriving design community, she has established a strong connection with the top leading designers around the world.

On her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, friends, and traveling to be inspired by the beauty in the world.
