Studio Linh is a rare blend of creative vision and operational precision, a team where design and ops work hand in hand. We don’t just make spaces look beautiful; we make them function beautifully, too. As a dedicated, high-touch partner, we offer the kind of care and collaboration you don’t find at a larger firm. Think of us as your design coach, here to guide you through the process, give you tools to clarify your vision, and translate that into a space that reflects your brand, not ours. Our portfolio spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and aesthetics but what unites all our work is a design philosophy rooted in strategy, ingenuity, and soul.
About Marilynn Lerum
Founder and Principal Designer
Linh, Vietnamese for “soul” and pronounced “Lin,” is Marilynn’s given name and what she strives to bring into each project. With fifteen years of architectural and interior design practice, she has worked on a wide range of projects from Louis Vuitton’s Rodeo Drive flagship to the neighborhood restaurants Angelenos queue for and boutique hotels that earn Michelin Keys. Today she folds that same guest-centered craft into workplaces, retail, wellness spaces, and hospitality projects alike. What excites her most is translating a client’s values into experiences that delight daily but also have longevity: a wellness space whose calm material palette slows the pulse, a tech headquarters whose social hubs spark chance conversations, a local restaurant that becomes your go-to spot to take out-of-towners. She sees hospitality-driven commercial spaces as the new norm and is dedicated to crafting places that are just as inviting and memorable as your favorite hotel lobby.
