Who We Are

M One Design Group, is a full-scale commercial interior design firm specializing in multifamily, affordable living, active adult, and hospitality spaces.
With over 3 million square feet designed and a proven track record across the Southeast, we partner with developers and construction teams to deliver design solutions that are efficient, cost-sensitive, and resident-focused. 

Our Approach

We work from conception to completion, aligning with architects and general contractors to: 
• Create complete finish schedules (interior + exterior) 
• Specify and source FF&E packages that balance quality and budget 
• Merchandise amenity spaces to drive resident pride and leasing velocity 
• Reduce construction change orders through smart, early-stage design decisions

Our Mission

At M One, we believe design is more than aesthetics — it’s a strategy for developer ROI, operational efficiency, and community impact.

“At M One Design Group, we design with intention—always considering how a space will be lived in, visited, and remembered. Our projects aim to inspire pride, comfort, and connection while maximizing long-term value. We deliver design solutions that are forward-thinking, financially sound, and tailored to the goals of every development partner.” – Mona Stephen
Meet Mona

Mona Stephen is the Principal and Creative Director for M One Design Group and an Interior Designer with over 15 years of experience in commercial, hospitality, and residential interior décor and design.

Under Mona’s leadership the M One Design Group portfolio now includes a diverse blend of small and large scale projects to include multi family developments, senior housing, restaurants, hotels, music studios, and residential renovations.

Her career began as a Home Depot EXPO Visual Merchandiser which then led to designing hundreds of model homes for builders and developers in the South Eastern Region. After a few years of merchandising model homes, Mona realized it was time to expand M One Design Group to include a talented team of designers and contractors.

 

Mona attributes her ability to attract such a diverse client portfolio to her extensive experience with merchandising model homes and the ability to maintain successful client relationships. Because model homes vary in style and price points, Mona and her team must have the ability to create environments by marketing to the demographics of who would function and live in the space.
This approach has allowed M One Design Group to consistently deliver full scale design recipes that represent the client and how their space will be aesthetically pleasing and functionally used to – look good and feel good.
