Denise Muraro, founder of Piazza Garibaldi Design, took an unconventional path to luxury design. Her career began in Minneapolis’ warehouse district, where she absorbed the city’s creative energy and learned how the environment shapes experience. Early roles in advertising and gallery planning sharpened her attention to detail and client collaboration skills, which now form the foundation of her work. Muraro’s story focuses on forging connections and elevating everyday spaces into extraordinary places.
Her transition from Minneapolis nightlife to high-end interiors reflects her versatility. She involves herself deeply in every project—whether a Buckhead estate or a 30-meter yacht—bringing a craftsman’s eye and storyteller’s heart to each commission. Muraro shares, “The pulse of Minneapolis—the music, the nightlife, and the energy of the warehouse district—has always inspired me.” This background allows her to blend global influences with local insight, creating sophisticated yet personal spaces.
Turning Client Stories into Living, Breathing Spaces
Personalization forms the foundation of the firm’s design philosophy. Muraro believes every client’s story deserves expression through thoughtful design. She curiously approaches each project, exploring clients’ personalities, lifestyles, and aspirations. This discovery process unlocks environments that resonate deeply.
Her hands-on style guides every detail, from material selection to heirloom placement. She explains, “I weave meaningful elements into each project—whether family heirlooms or unexpected materials—to create spaces that resonate deeply with clients. We create environments that reflect personal significance and character.” This narrative-driven process transforms interiors into living stories, where every piece contributes to the overall experience.
Experience in yacht design further shapes her work. Designing for vessels demands creativity within tight constraints. Muraro notes, “Designing for yachts requires a special kind of creativity. We create opulent, functional spaces within specific constraints.” Lessons from the sea translate to land projects, introducing inventive solutions into luxury homes and estates.
Crafting Distinction on Land and Sea
Muraro moves fluidly between residential and yacht projects, overseeing every phase from concept to construction. This unified vision guarantees that the final result reflects the client’s desires and exacting standards for craftsmanship and detail.
Her influence spreads from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta, the Hamptons, and New York City. Drawing from experiences in New Orleans, New York, and Europe, she blends diverse cultural styles into her work. Muraro remarks, “My design sense comes from my time in many inspiring places, each with its style and energy. From New Orleans’ vibrant culture to New York’s dynamic atmosphere, and over a decade in Europe’s timeless elegance, I’ve woven these influences into something distinct.” This broad perspective results in timeless and original spaces tailored to each client’s story.
Her combination of construction knowledge and design artistry earns the trust of high-net-worth clients seeking immersive environments. Muraro’s projects reflect her vision and the personalities of those who live within them.
Redefining Luxury’s Next Chapter, One Project at a Time
Muraro plans to extend her personalized, hands-on service across the United States and Europe. She intends to bring her unique blend of global style, meticulous detail, and storytelling to new markets. Building lasting relationships with clients and delivering projects that embody luxury and character remain priorities.
“We don’t just create beautiful spaces; we craft immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences. Our clients experience more than a finished project—they embark on a luxurious, daring journey that’s uniquely theirs from start to finish,” Muraroemphasizes. She believes design should be joyful, engaging, and deeply personal. Each project offers a chance to push creative boundaries and redefine luxury for discerning clients.
Muraro’s passion for storytelling, mastery of design and construction, and dedication to clients’ dreams drive the firm’s growth. Each transformed space brings life, meaning, and color into luxury interiors.
