Lina Murillo

RID, LEED AP BD+C
Associate Principal, Workplace, Austin

Rooted in global trends, Lina’s background provides a fresh and forward-thinking perspective on efficient, resilient design. Inspired by her early upbringing in Colombia and her later exposure to diverse markets and cultures, she delivers creative, well-planned spaces that express the fundamental elements of her clients’ visions and reflect how design is a vehicle to contextualize stories.

Over Lina’s two decades of experience as an interior architect, she has delivered multiple commercial interiors, hospitality, and workplace spaces in an integrated and collaborative fashion – always emphasizing inclusive and honest design, celebrating novel ideas, and responding to the great privilege of designing for others with pride and rigor. The places she creates, the moments she crafts, and the stories she tells have a design edge that elevate the communities she serves.

Lina and her husband, a fellow architect, share their life in Austin with their Labrador Retriever. Together, they love bicycling around the vibrant streets of Austin, hiking in the Hill Country scenery, and enjoying the local food scene.

“Do what you love, own what you do, and don’t let trends fool you – follow your design instinct”
