MARY GACHO IS A LOS ANGELES BASED CREATIVE.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade of experience in interior design and architectural lighting, grounded in a deep understanding of project management, manufacturing, and procurement. I began my career at one of West Hollywood’s leading interior design firms, growing from a design assistant into a project management role, and have since led projects from design development through construction administration with a focus on collaboration, client relations and documentation.

Outside of my core practice, I support non-profits through graphic design, work that allows me to blend storytelling, spatial thinking, and visual communication. Born in the Philippines and raised in Guam and California, I draw on my cultural background and community-driven values to create a narrative-led design approach that prioritizes impact and clarity.
