About

Maria Elena Holguin was destined to design!

A proud fourth-generation designer, following in the footsteps of her great-grandfather, grandfather and father, who were architects, carpenters and upholsterers in Cuba. She has worked in architecture, design and construction for almost 30 years and has traveled the world completing residential, commercial and hospitality projects.

Her seasoned skills have enabled her to design a variety of spaces – from a 600-sqft apartment in Colombia; homes, lobbies & public spaces in Miami; a 20,000-sqft home in Africa and another in Bahamas and so much more. Maria Elena can refresh any space, big or small.

Jesus Edison Holguin has been managing the field from a young age!

Jesus also gets some of his talent from 2 generations of craftsmen from Colombia, his military background and 25 years of construction project management skills. He has been in the Construction field as a Project Manager, Quality Control Supervisor and Strategic Planner.

His projects span from Military bases around the U.S., the Marriot, Radisson and Holiday Inn Hotel chains and top condominium buildings like Turnberry Village, Turnberry Resorts and most recently the Paramount World Center.
