    Designer of the Day: Maria Moyano

    Experiential designer Maria Moyano is drawn to the art of play. Splitting time between Miami and New York, she cut her teeth at the Museum of Ice Cream, one of the pioneers of the Instagram–driven space whose bubble-gum pink aesthetic, sprinkle-filled pools, and playful confections went viral when the Miami flagship debuted in 2016.

Moyano, too, has expanded her reach: consulting for Kanye West's Donda Academy and designing three outposts of The Wonder, a members-only club for families known for whimsical aesthetics and elevated programming for kids like intro classes to artists Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons. "I always aim to create experiences that encourage play and connection," she says. Up next: an immersive cannabis lounge.
