Silva Design Co. is a creative residential design studio dedicated to elevating everyday living. Where color is encouraged, warmth, texture, natural elements and attention to detail is necessary.

Gabriela’s background in graphic design brings a unique lens to each project, ensuring every home and garden feels authentic, imaginative, and deeply personal. Serving our Bay Area community.

Owner & Principal Designer

Born and raised in San Francisco, Gabriela calls the Bay Area home. Rich in California history and art, it only made sense to open her door to debut Silva Design Co. here.

With a professional Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and foundation in Graphic Design in 2006, Gabriela brings a trained eye for color, texture, detail, composition, business and technology to every project. Transitioning into residential design allowed Gabi to carry her signature style; artful yet approachable, layered, relaxed, and inspired by California’s laid back style. She balances vibrant color with serene neutrals, using tiles and textiles to bring depth, texture, and personality to every space.
