Our Philosophy
I believe inpersonal, intentional, lasting, meaningfuldesign.
Noema = meaning + memory + perception.
Design should be both imaginative and intentional: interiors that feel deeply personal while serving their purpose beautifully. That means listening closely, understanding your needs, and translating them into thoughtful, lasting design solutions, for homes and businesses alike.

The Designer
Hi, I’m Martha.
I founded Noema, an interior design studio in Portland, Oregon. Great design isn’t just how a space looks; it’s how it feels and functions every day.
Raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I grew up analyzing why beautiful rooms felt the way they did and redesigning them in my head. Now, with the education and experience to back it up, I create spaces whose meaning stays with you.
