Mariana Castañeda is a production designer and art director based in Mexico City. With a background in Visual Arts and Film Studies from universities in France and Scotland, she has spent the past 15 years working across film, TV, and commercials—primarily as a set decorator. That experience sharpened her eye for detail and storytelling, and today she brings the same cinematic sensibility to her work as a production designer.

She has contributed to projects in Mexico, the U.S, and France, and is passionate by the challenge of crafting visual worlds that feel purposeful, imaginative, and creatively daring.

In parallel, Mariana has maintained a practice as an interior designer, creating residential and commercial spaces that balance functionality, character, and visual storytelling. Her interiors, like her film work, are driven by a search for purpose, atmosphere, and imaginative design
