“Design is not about creating a beautiful still-life in a room. It is about creating a beautiful space to live in, one that embraces you with a sense of luxury, comfort, and belonging, welcoming you anew each time you enter.”

Mimi Fong

FOUNDER + PRINCIPAL

Mimi Fong founded the award-winning Luminosus Designs in 2003, using her trademark style to create inviting, design-forward spaces. Pairing modern sophistication and sensibility with fresh color palettes and clean lines, Mimi puts her signature spin on designs that are tailored exclusively to your home—and your vision. Forever inspired by Impressionist masters such as Monet and Renoir, she excels at using light to enhance details and architectural elements, delivering that “wow” visual impact every time.

Design Philosophy

For Mimi, every room should evoke a sense of belonging. Whether the space is used for entertaining, everyday family get-togethers, or as a haven to unwind, a room should draw you in, making you feel content and welcome. To achieve that, she develops a deep understanding of your values and needs. 

What Sets Mimi Apart

  • Seamless project management. Along with two decades as a designer, Mimi has extensive project management experience, enabling her to smoothly and confidently coordinate a team of professionals—from architects to contractors. This helps ensure all progress milestones are met and projects are completed on time, without any worry on your part.  

  • Custom-made designs. The secret to creating a home that’s distinctly yours? Furnishings that aren’t found elsewhere. Known for her custom designs, Mimi has an extensive list of vendors and suppliers she works with to develop unique pieces, whether that’s lighting and rugs, tables and chairs, or anything in between. This tailoring creates a cohesive style throughout your home, further elevating the look and feel. 

  • A hassle-free experience. Designing a home can be stressful—but Mimi handles everything from start to finish to help make the design process not only easy, but fun and enjoyable, too. 

Mimi is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers, the National Kitchen & Bath Association, and has NCIDQ-certification through the Council for Interior Design Qualification.
