INTRODUCING

FOUNDER

Marlena Wildmoser Todd // founder of MARLENA Design Atelier is an emerging interior designer with a degree in Architecture from the renowned Pratt Institute. With a career exploring the interconnection between interior and exterior architecture, Marlena has been able to expand into her personal style since founding her own studio in February 2021.

Growing up outside of New York City, Marlena was exposed to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city, while a childhood between Morris County and the USVI provided a fusion of urban and natural aesthetics. To add global perspective, Marlena extended her German (Swabian) family when marrying her partner, Peter, in 2020. 

Frequent travels to Europe have provide Marlena with continuous inspiration and a strong connection to her extended family. The blend of influences from the Northeastern United States, Caribbean, and Europe inform her design approach, resulting in spaces that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics.

Marlena’s search for depth, quality, and integrity comes through in her design ethos, as aesthetics go beyond simply displaying a beautiful space.

    - Derek Kruse

  • “ Marlena is amazing. I moved to NY with just a few pieces of furniture and wanted my new apartment to feel like a comfortable, relaxing and modern home. She helped me source and curate a variety of pieces (chairs, rugs, art, lighting, tables) that would have taken me forever to find on my own. She is professional, friendly and full of so many ideas for design. I would recommend her for any home design project. “
