Magdalena Mayer | Principal

Magdalena Mayer was born and raised in Arizona, and holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from Arizona State University.

Throughout her career, Magdalena has worked in various architectural roles, including as a project designer at Oz Architects under the direction of Don Ziebell, where she deepened her understanding of scale, proportion, materiality, and quality. Her time there also highlighted the essential relationship between architecture and interiors, and how thoughtfully integrated elements—like furniture, lighting, and art—can elevate the architectural experience and enrich the feeling of home.

She has contributed to a range of residential projects in locations including Los Angeles, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale.

While she’s been fortunate to work on inspiring designs, becoming a mother has profoundly influenced her perspective. It has reshaped the way she thinks about the purpose of a home and the meaning of the spaces we choose to live in—making her approach more thoughtful, personal, and rooted in the real rhythms of daily life.
