Found Design Studio
Established by Stacey Clarimundo, Found is an interior architecture and design studio rooted in the notion that successful design should transcend time.
As a studio we pride ourselves on listening closely to what each environment requires to reflect our client’s personality as well as their practical needs, all while staying true to our belief in multi-faceted, layered spaces.
Neither traditional nor modern, we like to live somewhere in the in-between and give credence to both.

Stacey Clarimundo
With over 18 years of experience in both commercial and residential interior architecture and design, four years after co-founding her first design firm, Stacey independently created and launched Found Design Studio in 2018. Shortly after, she and her team lovingly restored and re-imagined the 19th Century antique at 67 Main to serve as their new foundation, expanding to include a full studio space and retail offering, The Shop at Found, in 2022.
Stacey graduated from the Boston Architectural College’s School of Interior Architecture earning her Bachelor’s Degree and multiple academic awards along the way, including The Harold and Elsie M. Hurst A-1 Studio Prize in her first year and the prestigious Degree Project Studio Award in her final year. She has been NCIDQ certified since 2011, which is currently the only nationally recognized indicator of knowledge and proficiency in interior design principles.
With experience ranging from 28,000SF ground-up residential construction to multi-level full-gut renovations, Stacey brings a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and total commitment to each project. Stacey’s clients, partners and friends alike are drawn to her seemingly effortless aesthetic, deep-rooted values and magnetic authenticity.
“My environment, and being surrounded by beauty, is key to my own overall feeling of joy and happiness; I simply want to share that feeling with others.” – Stacey C.
