As the creator of Ferriss + company Mary Sanders Ferriss brings an array of knowledge in creative consulting to her clients. She has built a reputation for concept-driven spaces that provide guests unique experiences through many different mediums. Starting her career in interior design, she quickly expanded her interests and expertise in product design, brand management, and business development. Her background in luxury hospitality has given her an edge in understanding customers and guests and how to present a product and a space to them in the best light possible. Making the guest happy ultimately makes her clients happy which is what she strives to achieve. She finds satisfaction in working with people to help establish a design and brand strategy that resonate in all areas of the product they are offering. While much of her focus has been in the hospitality, retail, and corporate markets, she utilizes these same philosophies in residential design. Specializing in custom homes and renovations allows her to create a cohesive design package for each project. Ferriss prefers hands on collaboration with the general contractor in order to create the best solution for the space for both design and functionality.
