marta pilla
Principal + Design Director
Marta relocated to Washington DC from her home state of New Jersey to study Architecture at The Catholic University of America where she earned her Undergraduate and Master's degrees. She has called DC home since then and has enjoyed work opportunities in large and small office environments and with a diversity of project types.
After a decade of working in corporate interior design, Marta transitioned to residential design and in that arena, Design Cadence was born. Marta delights in helping clients convert houses to homes. She loves solving a space challenge and observing the construction process to see the solution built. She truly enjoys working in collaboration with clients to bring their projects to life.
Sarah Rudolph
Finance + Procurement Manager
Sarah joined Design Cadence in 2022. She brings work experience in small businesses and the systems that help them hum. She previously supported another small design firm and is well-versed in the intricate behind-the-scenes operations that go into design projects.
Sarah is detail-oriented, solutions-driven, super organized, and an overall lovely human being. Marta and all of Design Cadence's clients are lucky to work with her!
maëlla bouchard
Content + Studio Manager
Maëlla joined the crew in 2023. She has experience in design-build, staging, residential real estate, and design retail. Simply stated, she has vast knowledge about everything that goes into a design project!
She has loved all things design since she was a child - always rearranging, repainting or refurnishing her bedrooms (and any other room she could convince her parents to let her revamp). She knows the way it feels to walk into a space and have it feel like “you”, and she loves helping clients achieve that feeling.
