There are professional paths born from an intuition: the idea that beauty can also be a refuge, a way of accompanying those who inhabit spaces. The story of Tessa Muga, founder and creative director of Somos Nido, is one of those journeys in which the home—its warmth, its intimate pulse—becomes both compass and destination.
An entrepreneur by nature, Tessa began her path in 2013 by co-founding The Home Hunter, a different kind of real estate agency, conceived for those seeking homes with soul. It was not simply about offering properties, but about recognising in each one a potential life, a story yet to unfold. Through her gaze, The Home Hunter grew into a close, welcoming and deeply human space, where design became an everyday and accessible language.
Over time, that sensitivity towards dwelling—that desire to transform spaces into meaningful places—took shape in a new project. In 2019, Tessa and her team brought Somos Nido to life, an interior design studio that understands the creation of a home as an act of care. The studio’s philosophy is rooted in a simple yet powerful conviction: the spaces we live in should embrace us, accompany us, and allow us to be. From this perspective, Somos Nido designs interiors that breathe serenity, harmony and authenticity, with meticulous attention to materials, light and the emotional scale of every detail.
The name of the studio is no coincidence: a nest is a symbol of rootedness, belonging and shared intimacy. In each project, the team led by Tessa works to give form to this concept through textures, colours and atmospheres capable of connecting with what is most essential in the people who will inhabit them.
Thus, Tessa Muga’s biography is woven through a single guiding thread: the search for a home for people. A creative team in which design revolves around its most human root—the act of caring, observing, understanding and transforming everyday life into a space of deep wellbeing.
In every project, Tessa affirms that interior design—when born from respect for people and for the intimate rhythm of each home—has the capacity to become a gesture of affection. Under her leadership, Somos Nido continues to weave stories in which calm finds its place and where the home becomes that warm territory we all need.
