DESIGN STUDIO

THE VISION the INTENTIOn

ALAS DESIGN STUDIO

‍ ‍is a multidisciplinary design collective focusing on environments where life unfolds. Founded and created by Gabriela Marmolejo, a Northern California native with a passion for creating in many forms. The work shapes spatial narratives across residential, hospitality, immersive, and art-driven spaces, each rooted in intention, unique stories, human connection, and experiences that ultimately linger in memory.

According to the principle of osmosis, you become what you surround yourself with. Objects hold memory, materials carry energy, and interior spaces both inform and reflect who you are. Every spatial decision speaks to something beneath the surface: what you value, how you move, and ultimately how you live.

Informed by the belief that our surroundings shape our inner and outer worlds, we approach design as both a lived experience and a lasting imprint. We are guided by story, craftsmanship, and the quiet dialogue of energy that exists between all elements—shaping how we live and feel.

ALAS exists to guide, curate, and cultivate environments that support the expansion of self, awareness, and the ways in which we live.

Design as storytelling: shaping spaces across residences, hospitality, events, and artistic environments. Expand Your Wings

every element has a story

We practice art-focused design, sourcing with intention so that each piece contributes not only to the aesthetic, but to the essence and feeling of the space.

art and craftsmanship matter

Artists and makers are essential to culture and should be supported, celebrated, and their craft should be meaningfully integrated into everyday life.

design is energetic

Spaces hold emotion, memory, and frequency. A successful space inspires, grounds, and elevates -inviting your higher self forward

education deepens appreciation

Through immersion in art, culture, and design, we help clients develop their eye, expand their understanding, and connect more deeply to the human spirit.

the process should feel human

Design is not linear. It is intuitive, layered, and evolving. The journey should be illuminating, educational, personal, and deeply fulfilling.

Alas, I found you!
