FDG Design Group

What FDG Design Group does

FDG Design Group is a full-service interior design firm founded in 2018 by Fatima Silva, headquartered in San Francisco with a second studio in Miami. The firm specializes in luxury residential and resort/hospitality interior design, providing end-to-end services including space planning, custom furniture design, FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) procurement, art curation, and project management. Its project portfolio spans penthouse commissions in architecturally significant buildings (Faena House by Norman Foster, Museum Tower by Zaha Hadid, Waldorf Astoria Chicago), private residences in Aspen, Palm Beach, Maui, and Hawaii, and resort/hospitality projects including Reef 18 in Baja California Sur, Ink Grade winery tasting room, and Mäkena Golf & Beach Club in Maui.

The firm serves two primary customer segments: high-net-worth individuals seeking bespoke residential interiors and luxury resort/hospitality developers seeking distinctive guest environments. Revenue is generated through project-based fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed and each engagement custom-tailored to client requirements. Projects are acquired through a consultative, sales-led motion relying on referrals, portfolio showcasing, press coverage in publications such as Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, and industry awards including The Design Awards, Luxe Red Awards, and NEWH 2024 TopID.

FDG operates with a small team of approximately 10 professionals across design, architectural design, and procurement functions, collaborating with a network of architects (de Reus Architects, Hart Howerton, VITA Planning), specialty artisans (Ateliers Lison de Caune, local Baja craftspeople), and curated suppliers (Lucca Antiques, Galerie Half). The company is founder-owned and operated with no disclosed external funding, and its active project pipeline includes a Private Residence in Costa Rica, a Treehouse project, and Wellness Cottages.
