The Vision That Built Maybeck Design
Every great design begins with a story.
At Maybeck Design, ours began with a single belief — that commercial spaces have the power to inspire success, creativity, and connection. From workplaces that shape company culture to hospitality and multifamily environments that elevate everyday living, we see design as more than what meets the eye. It’s an experience — a language that speaks through space.
Across the United States, we help clients reimagine what’s possible in their environments. Whether it’s a modern corporate office, a boutique hotel, or a vibrant multifamily development, our spaces are designed to work beautifully and feel intentional.
But the heart of Maybeck Design begins with one person — our founder, Danielle May Harbeck.
Meet the Visionary Behind Maybeck Design
The face behind Maybeck Design, Danielle May Harbeck.
The face behind Maybeck Design, Danielle May Harbeck, is a celebrated interior designer and demonstrated leader with an international reputation for excellence.
Australian born and raised, Danielle’s story began far from the U.S. — in a culture where craftsmanship, creativity, and architectural beauty were part of everyday life. Her background in Architecture naturally expanded into a deep passion for interior design, where she discovered her ability to not only envision the whole of a design concept but also masterfully develop every part that brings that vision to life.
Danielle’s journey took her across continents — traveling the world, absorbing design influences, and collaborating on projects that shaped her signature perspective: design as story, structure, and soul.
Her global experience gave her a rare understanding of how people interact with space — across cultures, climates, and industries. It also deepened her belief that every space should feel both intelligent and emotional — a reflection of its purpose and the people who inhabit it.
Now based in Dallas, Texas, Danielle leads Maybeck Design with integrity, empathy, and vision. Her leadership defines our culture — collaborative, detail-driven, and relentlessly committed to exceeding client expectations.
How Maybeck Design Came to Be
Maybeck Design was founded from a desire to do more than create beautiful interiors. Danielle saw a gap in the industry — a need for design that not only looked good but also worked beautifully, empowering people and businesses to perform at their best.
With a background rooted in architectural thinking, Danielle brought a holistic mindset to interior design. She saw the invisible connections — between form and function, story and strategy, brand and behavior.
Maybeck Design was born from that vision:
to design spaces that inspire, engage, and endure.
From our earliest projects, we approached every client relationship with curiosity and care — learning who they are, what they value, and how their space could help tell their story. That personal, collaborative approach quickly became our signature.
Today, Maybeck Design continues that legacy nationwide, crafting environments that blend artistry, purpose, and performance.
Our Philosophy: Purposeful Design with Integrity
At Maybeck Design, our philosophy is simple: every detail matters — because every detail tells a story.
We believe in designing spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful, as strategic as they are emotional. Each project begins with listening — to our clients’ goals, their culture, their aspirations. Only then do we translate that understanding into form, light, and flow.
Our design philosophy centers on three guiding principles:
Integrity in every endeavor – We approach each project with honesty, precision, and purpose. Danielle instilled this value early on; it’s how we earn trust and build lasting relationships.
Human-centered creativity – We design for how people live, work, and connect. From collaborative offices to comforting hospitality spaces, our work focuses on how design can elevate the human experience.
Holistic storytelling – Every project is a narrative. We shape that story through materials, texture, proportion, and rhythm — crafting spaces that evoke emotion and reflect identity.
Whether we’re designing a national corporate office rollout or a one-of-a-kind boutique environment, our goal remains the same: to create spaces that feel intelligent, authentic, and alive.
Designing for How People Work, Live, and Connect
As a nationwide commercial interior design firm, Maybeck Design has had the privilege of shaping environments across a range of industries — each with its own rhythm, purpose, and personality.
Corporate Office Design
Workplaces today are more than places to work — they’re reflections of culture.
We design offices that foster creativity, collaboration, and well-being. Through thoughtful space planning, biophilic design, and timeless aesthetics, we help companies cultivate environments that attract top talent and drive innovation.
Our corporate interiors balance productivity with purpose — because when design supports people, performance follows naturally.
Hospitality Design
In hospitality, emotion is everything. Guests should feel something the moment they enter a space — whether it’s the calm of a luxury retreat or the energy of a boutique destination.
We craft hospitality interiors that are immersive, experiential, and unforgettable — where design tells a story that lingers long after checkout.
Multifamily and Mixed-Use Design
Residential and communal spaces are where design meets everyday life.
Our multifamily and mixed-use interiors combine comfort, durability, and visual harmony — creating environments where residents feel both connected and at home.
From elegant amenity spaces to dynamic lobbies and shared lounges, we design with community in mind.
Medical and Healthcare Design
Healthcare design is about more than efficiency — it’s about wellness, trust, and care.
We design medical and healthcare environments that promote healing through thoughtful spatial planning, soothing materiality, and an intuitive flow that reduces stress and enhances comfort.
From modern medical offices and wellness clinics to specialized care centers, our approach focuses on creating spaces that support both practitioners and patients.
We believe that healing begins with the environment — and that well-designed spaces can nurture both body and mind.
Our Process: Collaboration at Every Step
Great design isn’t just created — it’s cultivated through collaboration.
At Maybeck Design, our process is transparent, thoughtful, and tailored to each client:
Discovery – We begin by immersing ourselves in your world — understanding your goals, culture, and audience.
Concept Development – We translate insight into vision, exploring mood, materiality, and story.
Design Refinement – Every detail is considered — from lighting and acoustics to finish palettes and furniture.
Execution – We collaborate with trusted partners, ensuring seamless project delivery from concept to completion.
Post-Project Partnership – Our relationships continue beyond handover. Many of our clients return again and again, a testament to our trust and follow-through.
This collaborative rhythm — shaped by Danielle’s architectural precision and our team’s creative curiosity — ensures every project feels not only finished but complete.
A Global Eye with a Local Heart
Though Maybeck Design now operates nationwide across the U.S., our perspective remains deeply global. Danielle’s international journey instilled in us a sensitivity to culture, context, and nuance — the ability to see space not just as a container, but as an experience shaped by human stories.
Yet even as our reach has expanded, our ethos remains rooted in personal connection.
We value relationships, not transactions. We design not just for brands, but for people. And no matter the scale or sector, we bring the same care, creativity, and attention to detail to every project we undertake.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Design
The future of commercial design is human, holistic, and adaptive.
As technology evolves and the way we work and live continues to change, the spaces we inhabit must evolve too.
We’re passionate about leading that evolution — integrating sustainability, flexibility, and storytelling into every environment we create. Whether it’s a wellness-centered workplace, a hospitality venue rooted in experience, or a multifamily community that nurtures connection, our goal remains constant: to design spaces that make people feel seen, inspired, and at home.
As Danielle often says,
“Design isn’t just what you see — it’s what you feel when you walk through the door.”
That philosophy continues to guide every project at Maybeck Design.
