Summary
Shirley Maddalena is the president and founding force behind Maddalena Design, a full-service interior design and space-planning firm that has delivered tailored residential and commercial projects across the United States, from Rockefeller Center to clients in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Naples and throughout Michigan. Trained at Harvard GSD in Architecture & Design with an undergraduate background in accounting and economics from Marquette, she combines rigorous design sensibility with sharp budgetary and project-management discipline. For over four decades she has acted as client advocate—shaping concept, specifying architectural details, furniture and finishes, and orchestrating procurement and installation to meet timelines and move-in dates. Her practice emphasizes “personal fit,” ensuring spaces reflect the values and attitudes of their owners rather than follow passing trends. Based in Detroit, she also offers concierge services including art and accessory placement, bringing a hands-on, curated approach that marries aesthetics with operational reliability.
