Founded by designer Renata Costa, Minha Alma Studio was born from a desire to create spaces rooted in each client’s unique story, while embracing sustainable and ethical design principles. Minha Alma translates to “My Soul” in Portuguese and reflects both Renata’s heritage and the guiding spirit of the studio. Its work focuses on finding balance between old and new, combining refinement with ease, and bringing meaning to the way people experience their homes.
​
Every project grows through collaboration, intention, and respect for both the process and the people involved. We design with feeling, integrating our core values that honor the environment and the communities we work with. Minha Alma Studio is guided by the belief that our surroundings shape how we feel. Our mission is to create spaces that are deeply personal, thoughtfully detailed, and built to grow with the lives they hold.
