ALEKSANDRA CATANIA

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Aleksandra Catania is the Founder and Creative Director of Modo Mio Design. Her design philosophy is rooted in the belief that a well-designed home should feel both effortless and deeply personal. Originally from Sweden, she has always been drawn to the way design shapes the way we live, developing a deep appreciation for Italian and Scandinavian craftsmanship and the warmth of mid-century design over the years.

Her journey into interiors was shaped by years of travel, exploring how different cultures approach design and the relationship between form and function. She studied business and marketing at the University of Southern California and interior design at Parsons in New York, bringing both an artistic eye and a strategic mindset to every project. Aleksandra believes a home should be a reflection of the people who live in it—where every piece tells a story and every space invites a sense of ease.

THE STUDIO

Modo Mio Design is a boutique interior design studio based in New York, specializing in creating refined, livable interiors that feel collected, intentional, and uniquely personal.

With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, materiality, and the art of restraint, we design spaces that stand the test of time. Whether curating furnishings for a single room or overseeing a full-scale renovation, our approach remains the same—thoughtful, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that great design enhances the way we live.

Working with clients across the country, we offer both in-person and remote services, ensuring that each project is tailored to the individual. At Modo Mio Design, every home tells a story—one that feels natural, elevated, and unmistakably yours.
