Creatively led by Founder Hilary A. Miners, HAM is a full-service interior design studio crafting tailored environments for hospitality and retail brands.
Our New York City WBE practice integrates interior design, branding, and graphics for projects locally and abroad—from neighborhood cafés and pop-ups to global flagships and destination restaurants.
For both emerging clients and established corporations, HAM creates highly considered environments and visual systems that are concept specific. Each project begins with the brand, translating its character into a distinct spatial identity that is wholly its own.
