Residential interior design, rooted in Long Beach.
Start a projectAbout
If I May Studio is a Latina-owned residential interior design practice in Long Beach, California, founded by Maybelline Ballesteros Cunanan. The studio designs spaces that feel considered, not staged: layered textures, warm materials, rooms built for how people actually live in them. Every project starts with process. Concept boards, floor plans, and careful material choices come before anything gets installed. One designer. One point of contact. From first sketch to final walkthrough.
Process
Every project begins with understanding how you live, what you need, and what the space has the potential to become. I establish the priorities, architectural opportunities, and overall direction that will guide every decision that follows.
With a clear direction established, I shape the design through space, proportion, material, lighting, furnishings, and detail. Each element is considered in relation to the whole, creating a cohesive design that is both beautiful and purposeful.
I carry the design from concept into the finished space, overseeing the details that bring it together. Through coordination, procurement, installation, and final styling, I remain focused on preserving the original design intent through completion.

I take on a considered number of projects each season, to give each one the attention it deserves. If you're thinking about what's next for your home, I'd love to hear what you have in mind. Every inquiry is personally reviewed and responded to.
