Portrait of Hema Persad.

Meet Hema

Hema Persad is an interior designer based in Los Angeles with an aesthetic that’s clean, eclectic and inspired by travels and cultures from around the world. 

When it comes to interiors, Hema is entirely self-taught, leaning into the skills she honed working as a fashion stylist for nearly a decade. She launched her firm, Sagrada Studios, back in 2021 after an initial project fed into several more, and we’ve loved watching her transform residential, commercial, and celebrity client projects all over the country with success (and stunning style!) ever since.

Paint can really make or break a project because it conveys the overall mood and feel of a space.
