Tonya Almallah

​

After nearly two decades designing for some of the biggest names in hospitality, Tonya Almallah Schmitt made the bold move to bet on herself—turning a thriving side hustle into her full-time design studio. Now based in South Florida after years of calling NYC and NJ home, Tonya brings a fresh, fearless edge to boutique hotel, resort, and lifestyle design.

​

Tonya also spent several years working with a major global hotel brand, where she specialized in writing luxury renovation PIP’s(Property Improvement Plans) and project managing them from concept through completion. Her deep understanding of brand standards, ROI-driven design, and the business of hospitality sets her apart from the typical designer.Somewhere along the way, she dipped her toe into the world of luxury senior living—reimagining what elevated, wellness-focused environments could look like. But the creative call to carve her own path grew louder. In 2024, she made it official: no more side hustle. Full-time founder. Full-time fire.As a minority woman-owned business, she is proud to bring a distinct perspective to the industry—combining cultural insight, creative leadership, and entrepreneurial grit.Today, Tonya is building something bolder—rooted in her signature mix of fashion-forward flair, hospitality precision, and a no-BS approach to design. Whether she’s conceptualizing the next boutique hotel in the Keys or reimagining a resort brand from the ground up, her work is layered, luxe, and never forgettable. Currently based in South Florida. Still dreaming globally. Always designing with an edge.
