Welcome to Ona Design Studio

Designing homes that feel like your dream escape

Ours is a modern-day story: two designers who admired each other’s work from afar, connected on Instagram, and quickly became friends over coffee. The distinct perspectives that fuel our friendship also shape our design approach—coming together to create bespoke, intentional, and storied spaces.

Berta Beake

Raised in Barcelona, Berta grew up surrounded by architecture, fashion, and the Mediterranean way of life—an influence that still shapes her eye for timeless, effortless design. With a background in hotel management and formal training in interior design, she blends creativity with precision, crafting spaces that are warm, functional, and refined.

Coelle Smith

From Madison, Wisconsin, Coelle has always been drawn to making and creating. Nursing was her first career, but design quickly became her calling after transforming her own home and those of friends. She shines in envisioning how people live in a space, layering color, texture, and detail to create rooms that feel both personal and storied.

I loved working with Berta & Coelle to remodel our primary bedroom and bathroom.  I couldn't be happier with the results! They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, blending our style with their creative ideas to create a space that feels inviting and beautiful while remaining VERY functional. The entire process was enjoyable, as they kept us informed along the way and were responsive when changes were necessary. I highly recommend Ona Design Studio for anyone looking to transform their space!
