I N T E R I O R D E S I G N 69 Intermind Design Relationships are vitally important to Mila Djuras, principal and owner of Intermind Design. With a background in science and architectural technology and design, Mila's passion for design mingles with her genuine interest and care for people as unique individuals. Whether building from the ground up, reinventing a space for a longtime client and friend, or designing a commercial space, Mila guides owners through the creating, design, and construction phases of building their dream space. Her firm's work reflects the culturally diverse region in which it is based and a love for the scenery and environment. Mila's ability to blend salvaged elements, antiques, and one-of-a-kind pieces with the local flavor is jaw-dropping. Her designs are contextually relevant to their neighborhoods but are anything but ordinary. Homeowners appreciate her dedication to their dreams as much as they love her completely transparent approach to planning, implementation, and project management. Not only is her door always open, but she also shares before and after shots with new clients, so they fully understand the transformation that they are about to embark on with Intermind Design. No home is complete without a special gift from Mila herself that perfectly represents the homeowners' individuality. Sometimes it takes the form of a Warhol- like photograph in a hallway or a unique display of album covers instead of coffee table books. Other times it's in the careful selection of tile patterns or an interesting light fixture that will be loved by the homeowner for years to come. No matter the client's taste, personality, and budget, Mila provides exceptional holistic service that results in captivating abodes and cherished friendships with owners. When stepping into one of her homes, it's clear that her thinking is out of the box, inspired by the artistry of everyday life, and tailored to the people who live there. Thus, owners immediately fall in love with their homes, and for Mila, there's no greater joy.
