About Us

Design Syndicate, founded in 2010 by Melissa Salamoff, is an award-winning full-service interior design firm renowned for creating spaces that evoke emotion, forge connections, and push design boundaries while remaining functional. Melissa’s journey began in hospitality, designing hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces, eventually expanding into various commercial and multifamily projects, all infused with her core values of collaboration, storytelling, and innovative design.

At Design Syndicate, our approach goes beyond aesthetics. We craft spaces people love to inhabit and experience by diving deep into the project's story—understanding the who, what, where, and why. Inspired by nature, art, technology, fashion, and architecture, we expertly plan the function and flow of spaces, bringing 2D concepts to life in immersive 3D environments, often utilizing VR technology.

We thrive on collaboration, working with professionals from all disciplines to create truly integrated and inspired designs. Whether partnering with architects, engineers, artists, or technologists, we believe that diverse perspectives enhance the creative process and lead to more innovative and impactful results.

Since our inception, Design Syndicate has developed a diverse portfolio, including workspaces, multi-family, mixed-use, and high-end projects, covering new constructions, renovations, and adaptive re-use across various industries. Under Melissa's visionary leadership, we continue to create captivating and functional spaces that leave a lasting impact.
