Ciera’s favorite part of the design process is building strong client relationships through the design process and then watching those same clients fall in love with their new homes on reveal day. Ciera draws inspiration from her clients, whether it’s their favorite travel destination or architectural style. Her favorite part about working at MMD is that we don’t confine ourselves to one style and that each project is curated to the client’s unique vision. Ciera finds joy in all the different ‘hats’ she gets to wear at MMD, from AutoCAD drafting and finish specifications, to project management and final furnishings installation.
Ciera graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor of Science in interior design and has been a part of MMD since 2016. Ciera is NCIDQ certified and is also a member of ASID and IIDA. In her free time, Ciera loves exploring St. Pete for new restaurants, taking on new home projects, or just spending time with her husband and their two springer spaniels.
