Mary’s journey in the design industry started in the US, where she worked with multinational brands and collaborated with other consultants on commercial and residential projects in Michigan. Her passion for design eventually led her to Chicago, where she focused on high-end residential projects with a leading firm. But Mary had bigger dreams—she wanted to take her talent and expertise to new heights.

That’s when she set her sights on Dubai, a vibrant city with a thriving design scene. She knew that to succeed here, she needed to gain market experience, understand the local clientele, and immerse herself in the unique business culture of the region. And so, with courage and determination, Mary set off on a new adventure, ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

Mary’s love for design was ignited at a young age, and she has over 25 years of experience in the field. She studied design in college and gained invaluable hands-on experience through numerous internships. But it was her mother who truly inspired her—a courageous woman who arrived in the US with nothing but her passion for interiors and a fierce determination to succeed. Mary’s mother excelled in the industry and eventually set up her own business, passing on her skills and knowledge to her daughter.

Mary’s journey in the design industry is a testament to her unwavering passion, dedication, and talent. She has taken her inspiration from her mother and transformed it into a thriving business, creating beautiful spaces that inspire and delight her clients. At Korus, Mary’s vision and expertise continue to shine, making a positive impact on the design industry in Dubai and beyond.
