Behind the Brand
Hi, I’m Adriana — the creative force behind Macarena and Caimán.
I started designing because I’ve always believed spaces are more than walls and furniture — they are living, breathing reflections of who we are. Over the years, I’ve designed homes, renovations, and custom pieces that prove design isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about how life feels inside those walls.
With Macarena, I bring bold, vibrant interiors to clients who trust me to take the lead — often international homeowners looking for elegance with a warm, Latin touch. With Caimán, I explore playfulness and furniture design: functional pieces that make a statement, rooted in local craftsmanship.
What ties both worlds together is my philosophy: design should be effortless for the client, soulful in its expression, and unforgettable in its impact.
I’m passionate about creating spaces that feel alive — whether it’s a luxurious second home by the sea, a rental-friendly transformation, or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture.
At the heart of it, my job isn’t just to design. It’s to give you a place where you can truly be.
About Macarena
We are a studio founded by Adriana, a designer passionate about color, warmth, sustainability and culture.
Macarena was born as a response to a world that neutralizes everything.
We decided to reclaim joy, community, contrast, art, clay, the sound of street markets, and the song of tropical birds.
We work with deep respect for what is local, creating honest, sophisticated, and vibrant spaces.
Our design is not neutral — it’s bold, colorful, and deeply human.
