Founded in 2015, Studio Brown Bag is a full-service luxury design firm based in Chicago led by Cory Gonzalez and Aniuska Payares. The studio works on both residential and commercial projects, including everything from small renovations to full-scale, ground-up designs.

Because Studio Brown Bag takes on only select projects throughout the year, we’re able to offer more individual attention and exclusive focus on our clients, ensuring a smoother journey for everyone involved. We aim to surpass expectations, and we pride ourselves on unparalleled client service.

While we first met ten years ago in Chicago, we soon learned we shared many deep connections, both here in the states as well as our shared hometown of Caracas, Venezuela.

Above all, we share a passion for interior design and think it can help people on a day-to-day basis — whether the goal is connecting families or just creating spaces to inspire.

Our work has been featured in many design publications including Midwest Home, Connected Design, Essencial, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, among others.

We’d love to work with you !
