About MRB Interiors
The Basics
Founded in 2004, Mona Ross Berman Interiors concentrates on high-end residential interior design. Based in Philadelphia, our projects have taken us up-and-down the Eastern Seaboard -- as far north as Nantucket, MA and as far south as Washington, DC. We are known and respected for our fresh ideas, professional approach, and the close attention we pay to the needs and goals of each client.
Philadelphia Magazine described our work as "a seamless and chic interplay of pattern and color, heirloom and contemporary, classic and kid-friendly, elegant and artistic…. In the end, the house was perfect… which, in itself, is signature Mona Ross Berman."
Mona Ross Berman
Mona's path to interior design has been circuitous – to say the least. After working on political campaigns and later as a lawyer/lobbyist for a prestigious D.C. law firm, Mona ended up following her first passion, interior design. While sitting in her law firm office, Mona often daydreamed about how she would use her firm-provided stipend to decorate her office when she made partner. Before long, Mona decided to leave the law and to do what she loved full-time. And so, Mona Ross Berman Interiors was born.
Mona is a graduate of Brown University and Georgetown University Law Center.
