Interior Design & Styling

Meza Cruz is a restaurant rooted in storytelling, cultural layering, and shared memory.

The project explored the idea of mestizaje through material, color, and symbolism.

The design process was shaped through close conversations with investors, owners, and chefs. Understanding budget, menu, sourcing, and how food would be plated, shared, and experienced.

Creative direction guided the project from concept to execution, shaping space, furniture, lighting, tableware, and overall styling.
