Colleen started Location Staging 5 years ago, after fostering a lifelong interest in design, furniture and creating spaces that look good and feel good.
Growing up on Vancouver island, Colleen was inspired by her father, a master craftsman. After college she found herself traveling the world, being corporate (and redesigning every hotel room she was ever in) A decade later, when the novelty of airports and meetings wore off, she returned to her 'roots' and started a furniture company crafting large scale custom wood and steel pieces. (See Californawoodstudios.com) Location Staging was the natural extension of this, when just one piece of furniture was never enough.
Having lived in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Tokyo, Singapore, Amsterdam, Istanbul and Sao Paulo, she is a passionate proponent of visual richness and incorporating urban design with nature's inherent beauty. Educated in marketing and design for interiors, fashion and landscaping, Colleen believes comfort and beauty can not only co-exist, but are necessary to feel at peace in a space. When she's not redesigning homes and spaces, Colleen spends time with her family, in the great outdoors or in a workshop building things.
Maria's experience and sense of style has proven to be a winning combination in creating beautifully curated home interiors. She brings a seasoned appreciation and focus on color, scale and lighting.
Graduating with a BA from UCSD, she has never ceased exploring various art forms. Maria’s creativity has flourished in jewelry design, art installation, construction project management, and painting. She has received several awards and international recognition for her large scale textile murals and creates original artwork for staging installations and private collectors. Maria loves to spend time with her family and friends, exploring the East Bays cultural, art and food scenes. She collects folk art and Native American pottery and is always looking for inspiration in the world around her.
