Services Offered
Brazilian born, Miami-raised, long time Brooklynite and current resident of NY’s Hudson Valley, Ana Claudia is just as eclectic and diverse as her background. Her creation of thoughtful, contemporary interiors is an amalgamation of design styles incorporating eclectic vibrancy through modern, contemporary, and transitional elements. Color, texture, and lighting are calculatingly used to create mood while geometric elements and organic forms are juxtaposed in intriguing ways. Clients’ needs are frequently met with custom pieces and out of the box solutions. The objective is to create a space that feels natural to the client yet is stylistically energized and fresh. Because “It’s about how you feel the moment you walk in the door.”
A graduate of Florida International University, Ana Claudia worked in architecture for nearly a decade before realizing her true passion, interior design. She honed her design skills at Ligne Rose for 5 years while developing a deep understanding of customer service and a true appreciation of the designer/client collaborative process. She went on to develop her design company, ACD Jewelry, a jewelry company that later morphed into Ana Claudia Design Studio, its current iteration as an interior design firm.
Ana Claudia’s work includes everything from high-end NYC Penthouses, secluded country homes, compact commercial spaces, and expansive office interiors. She works predominately with clients in New York City, NY’s Hudson Valley, and New Jersey. Her interiors have been featured in such publications as Goop, Rue Magazine, Domino Magazine, House Beautiful, and HGTV.
Ana Claudia is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Interior Collab, and the Female Design Council.

Featured Projects
Upper East Side Rental
A Minimalist approach was taken to this short-term rental, also utilized for entertaining. The open floor plan was distinguished with long, clean lines and soft, neutral colors.
Hudson Valley Mid-century
A mid-century gut renovation in New York’s Hudson Valley calls out the spectacular river views, while adding openness and drama in each room. Much of the color pop, funky accessories and artwork are inspired by my Brazilian heritage.
Kingston Design Showhouse
The overall style is a mixture of modern and traditional, feminine and masculine, and moody and bright, with lots of depth but not overwhelming. The architecture serves as a canvas for the furniture and big impact details such as the ceiling wallpaper and medallion.
Jersey City Brownstone
A family home that was brightened up by adding warmth, color and texture. Original architectural details juxtaposed nicely with the new. Dramatic, walnut custom cabinetry in the formal living room frame the focal point of the room and are softened by lush velvet furnishings.
Orchard Penthouse
This project for a punk rock and hip-hop fan incorporated all the cool you would expect from a Lower East Side Penthouse. Melding functionality with artistic, sculptural design through lighting, speakers, switches and even shelving. High design and heavy geometry are incorporated alongside hand painted graffiti murals, sound systems and custom ceiling mounted kitchen storage.
Pacific St Brooklyn Unit 1
Light, bright and airy. Muted colors in light tones of blue and pink, with accents of copper, bronze, and brass. The design exudes softness with rounded tables, and plenty of velvet.
Pacific St Brooklyn Unit 2
Cooler color tones of grey and blue, mixed effortlessly with black finishes. Lush texture and patterns were incorporated for contrast and depth. Moody, yet calming and inviting.
