Principle/Designer

Entrepreneur and Founder of M. Wallman Design & Fosters Mercantile With a deep passion and God-given talent for both domestic architecture and interior design, I specialize in creating timeless, personalized spaces that blend historical inspirations with modern forms. My design philosophy is rooted in a love for historical domestic architecture and interiors, and each project I undertake is curated to reflect specific historical precedents. I believe even "modern" residential designs can incorporate these classical elements to create a sense of timelessness. I draw great inspiration from my favorite historical architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, whose innovative use of space and organic architecture continue to influence my work. Above all, I am dedicated to understanding the unique needs of my clients, tailoring every space to their desires rather than chasing fleeting trends. Whether working on regional homes like lake houses or second homes, or larger-scale residential projects, my goal is to craft environments that stand the test of time. With experience spanning from the Chicago, Illinois area to Spirit Lake, Iowa, Scottsdale, Arizona, Park City, Utah, and Birmingham, Alabama, I bring a diverse perspective to every project I take on.
