Rising Stars: Tonya Watts and Ria Sreekumar Menon Named to Interior Design’s 30/30 Miami Edition

MKDA is proud to announce that Tonya Watts, Studio Project Director, Interiors, and Ria Sreekumar Menon, Associate Project Designer, at our Miami studio, have received a well-deserved recognition as part of Interior Design magazine’s 30/30 Miami Edition.

The Interior Design Top 30 Designers Under 30 program celebrates the next generation of design leaders—thirty rising professionals under the age of thirty (or close to it!)—who are shaping the future of the industry through creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

Tonya and Ria were honored among this year’s talented group of emerging designers at the Miami edition of the event, which brought together young professionals from top firms across the region. The event provided an inspiring opportunity for connection, idea-sharing, and celebrating the future of design excellence.

At MKDA Miami, Tonya and Ria contribute their talent and vision to some of the firm’s most dynamic workplace, hospitality, multifamily and retail projects, embodying MKDA’s mission to deliver thoughtful, human-centered environments that reflect our clients’ culture and goals.

We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and can’t wait to see their continued impact on both our Miami studio and the broader design community.
