About

Hiromi Murayama is a New York–based interior architect and luxury design leader with an international career spanning hospitality, residential, and lifestyle design. Her work is rooted in an appreciation for craftsmanship, storytelling, and creating distinctive environments with a strong sense of identity.

Currently serving as Director of Luxury Design Management at Marriott International, Hiromi helps shape the design vision and creative identity of the company's global luxury brands. Since joining Marriott in 2021, her work has focused on defining the design philosophies and principles that guide each brand's physical expression, including brands newly entering the luxury portfolio. Drawing from their history, heritage, and defining characteristics, she identifies the essential qualities to preserve and evolve, translating them into a cohesive design language—from architectural character and spatial experience to materiality and the finest details. She also oversees the design direction of high-profile projects to ensure each environment authentically reflects the brand's identity.

Prior to Marriott, Hiromi developed her design foundation at the internationally acclaimed studio Yabu Pushelberg, working across luxury hospitality and residential projects.

Beyond her corporate work, Hiromi independently conceived and led the creative concept for Sip & Guzzle, a New York dining and bar destination, bringing together storytelling, design, and hospitality to create a distinctive guest experience.

A graduate of Pratt Institute with honors, Hiromi began her career with an internship at Starwood Hotels & Resorts before joining Yabu Pushelberg.
