What Hibner Design Group does

Hibner Design Group is a privately held, full-service interior design firm founded in 2012 by Maryanne Hibner and headquartered in San Clemente, California, with a second studio in Franklin (Nashville), Tennessee. The firm offers new build, renovation, and furnishing & styling services, applying them across four specialized verticals: multifamily residential (its largest portfolio with 35+ projects including Pacifica Place, Arrive Wakaba, Camino Real, and City Place), mental health residential facilities (developed with nonprofit partner A Mission for Michael), luxury spec homes, and affordable housing communities.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built around industry-standard design and documentation tools — primarily Autodesk Revit for construction documents — used to coordinate with architects, builders, trades, and vendors. Its competitive position rests on a multidisciplinary design team led by Maryanne Hibner as President and Chief Creative Officer, supported by a VP of Design & Development, a Creative Director for the Southern Division, senior and technical designers, a procurement specialist, and a dedicated Marketing Manager. The team delivers comprehensive scope from construction drawings and space planning through material selection, furnishings, custom artwork, and installation.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional design fees negotiated directly with enterprise clients — primarily large multifamily developers (Greystar, Lennar, AMCAL, USA Properties), architecture firms (Bassenian Lagoni), hospitality operators (Ritz-Carlton), and nonprofit healthcare providers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based given the custom nature of each engagement. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by a website portfolio, a 3-part docuseries, earned media coverage (Forbes, Modern Luxury, Construction Business Review), and LinkedIn presence.

Core offering

Hibner Design Group is a full-service interior design firm that provides comprehensive design services spanning new build, renovation, and furnishing & styling. The firm executes construction drawings (using Revit), space planning, material selections, furnishings, custom artwork, and wallcoverings across four specialized verticals: multifamily residential, mental health homes, luxury spec homes, and affordable housing. Services are delivered via direct collaboration with developers, architects, builders, and vendors from concept through final installation.

Direct peers

• Studio Munge: Studio Munge is an interior design firm specializing in luxury hospitality and residential projects for high-end brands—a comparable specialty to Hibner's Ritz-Carlton engagement and luxury spec home work for clients like Teserra and Bassenian Lagoni.
• Mark Brunetz Interior Design: Mark Brunetz is a Southern California-based interior designer with strong media brand recognition and high-end residential and hospitality work. Comparable to Hibner geographically (SoCal) and in creative positioning, though skewed more toward celebrity-driven residential than developer-driven multifamily.
• House of Design: House of Design is an interior design firm serving residential and multifamily developers with model homes and amenity spaces, comparable in service mix and project type to Hibner's multifamily and spec home portfolio.
• Mary Cook Associates: Mary Cook Associates is a Chicago-based interior design firm specializing in multifamily residential projects for national developers—the closest direct peer to Hibner, sharing the same customer base (large multifamily operators), service model (model units, clubhouses, amenity spaces), and project-based fee structure.
• KTGY: KTGY is an architecture and design firm with deep multifamily and single-family developer relationships across the West Coast, providing architecture and interior design services similar to Hibner's. It serves many of the same developer clients (including homebuilders in California) and overlaps on multifamily amenity design.

Broad incumbents

• HOK: HOK is a global design, architecture, and interiors firm with residential and hospitality practices comparable to Hibner's multifamily and Ritz-Carlton-adjacent work. Like Gensler and Perkins&Will, it competes as a larger incumbent rather than a niche specialist.
• Perkins&Will: Perkins&Will is a global architecture and interior design firm with significant multifamily and healthcare practices that overlap with Hibner's core multifamily and mental health facility verticals. It is a broader incumbent offering architecture, interiors, and planning under one roof.
• CannonDesign: CannonDesign is an integrated architecture, engineering, and interiors firm with healthcare and residential practices that overlap with Hibner's mental health facility design vertical. It competes for therapeutic-environment and healthcare-related design commissions as a much larger incumbent.
• Gensler: Gensler is a global architecture and design firm with a large interior design practice serving multifamily, hospitality, and commercial developers. It competes with Hibner for enterprise design commissions but operates at vastly greater scale and across many verticals beyond residential.

Emerging players

• Decorilla: Decorilla is an online interior design marketplace that connects consumers and small businesses with freelance designers. It represents an emerging, tech-enabled alternative to traditional boutique firms like Hibner, with lower price points but limited capability for large multifamily developer engagements.
