Designing woman opens new studio in Anna Maria

ANNA MARIA – After eight years of doing business on the Island, designer Adrian Griffin has opened her new design studio on Pine Avenue in Anna Maria and she’s ready to take her business to the next level. The new studio, which is open by appointment only, allows clients to come in and physically see and touch design elements such as countertops, flooring, cabinets, trim and other elements used in a remodel project. 

Griffin has an impressive resume that spans projects not only in Florida but throughout the United States and around the world. An entire wall in the new studio is covered with beautiful homes she has put her stamp on. 

“It’s nice to finally have a home base here on the Island. To have a place where people can come and pick everything out for me to send to the builder would make everybody’s lives easier and help get everything done faster,” said Griffin.

Griffin takes on just about any project of any size. From remodeling a boutique resort in the Caribbean to working with builders to design new projects here on the Island, she sees each opportunity as a designer to be unique and worthy of her incredible attention to detail. Griffin has a close relationship with most of the builders, and a long list of everybody from plumbers and electricians to closet and cabinet specialists.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to visit the studio at 501 Pine Ave., call 352-255-7359 or Adrian Griffin Interiors on Facebook or Instagram.
