ABOUT US
Scottsdale's Trusted Luxury Interior Design Studio
At IMI Design, interior design is not about following a style — it's about shaping environments that reflect the depth of the people who live within them. Founded by award-winning interior designer Anita Lang, this Scottsdale-based interior design studio serves clients who see their homes, retreats, and commercial spaces as reflections of vision, success, and personal legacy.
For over two decades, Anita has been trusted by some of the country’s most discerning homeowners and developers to lead projects that require a rare balance of beauty, restraint, and rigor. Her approach to interior design services is both intuitive and exacting — grounded in attentive listening, refined spatial awareness, and a deep respect for her clients’ individual goals.
While rooted in Arizona’s luxury enclave, IMI Design’s influence is international, transforming exceptional properties across the globe. With a curated portfolio representing over $2 billion in designed environments, the studio’s reputation as a leading interior design firm is built not on scale, but on the belief that true luxury is deeply personal.
From architectural detailing to custom furnishings and complete interior design execution, every space bears Anita’s signature: timeless, thoughtful, and tailored to those who expect more than just design — they expect a space that could only belong to them.
“BEAUTY HAS ALWAYS HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE HUMAN SPIRIT. THE SPACES IN WHICH WE LIVE AND WORK SHOULD AFFECT US IN A POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING WAY.”
— Anita Lang
IMI Design is known for delivering luxury interior design experiences defined by architectural precision, refined materiality, and an exacting, client-centered process. With deep expertise across residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces, our interior design studio creates environments that feel as intentional as they are inviting — tailored to the people who inhabit them.
No two interior design commissions are alike — because no two clients are. At IMI Design, each project begins not with a signature style, but with a person. The client’s values, rhythm, and aspirations shape every detail, guiding a design journey rooted in collaboration, listening, and trust.
From penthouses and private estates to boutique retreats and global hospitality destinations, our interior design services blend classical proportion, modern restraint, and bespoke elements into something entirely distinct. The result is more than a finished space — it’s an environment that reflects not just how our clients live, but how they see the world.
Philosophy
At IMI Design, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that interior design should not only elevate a space — it should elevate the people who live within it. We believe great design is felt, not just seen. That every space holds the potential to become a personal work of art. And that integrity is essential — in our craft, our process, and our commitment to those we serve.
These values shape how we approach every project. They’re why every interior design service begins with deep listening. Why no two designs ever look the same. And why the trust our clients place in us is treated not just as a responsibility — but as an honor to help express their values, their lifestyle, and their legacy through design.
Anita Lang
Anita Lang stands as the visionary founder and creative principal of IMI Design, recognized as one of the most influential voices in American interior design today. A recipient of over 115 design excellence awards from the American Society of Interior Designers and distinguished as a "Master of the Southwest," Anita possesses an exceptional ability to transform client aspirations into spaces that feel authentically personal, architecturally sophisticated, and emotionally compelling.
With decades of global design immersion, including her consistent presence at Milan's prestigious Salone del Mobile, Anita brings an international sensibility and an unparalleled network of artisanal resources to each interior design project. Her distinctive approach marries intuitive understanding with meticulous execution, creating living environments that balance practical functionality with enduring beauty.
Beyond her celebrated interior design practice, Anita is the creator of Design 528, a sculptural furniture collection guided by principles of love, truth, and beauty—each piece a meditation on the intersection of artistry and utility. Her creative vision extends further as both philanthropist and developer, currently orchestrating an innovative, eco-conscious resort community in Northern Arizona that celebrates artistic expression, human connection, and profound respect for the natural world.
Process
The IMI Design process is grounded in sophistication, discretion, and precision — created to support visionary clients through even the most complex interior design journeys with ease and clarity. Whether designing a luxury residence, private retreat, boutique hospitality space, or commercial environment, Anita Lang and her team guide each commission from initial concept to final installation, offering a concierge-level interior design service at every stage.
Each project unfolds through Smart Luxury®, a proprietary methodology developed by Anita to pair intuitive creative direction with exceptional logistical control. This approach ensures that aesthetic integrity is never compromised by process, and that no detail, however nuanced, is overlooked.
To support this seamless experience, clients receive private access to E-binder®, a secure digital platform hub for their entire interior design project. It connects all collaborators — from architects and contractors to craftspeople and consultants — through real-time planning tools, approvals, and documentation.
The result is more than a beautifully managed project. It’s a design experience that feels effortless and elevated, empowering clients to remain confidently involved as their vision is brought to life. Every decision reflects their values, pace, and legacy.

From strategic space planning and material selection to bespoke furnishings, curated art, and white-glove installation, our interior design studio ensures every element is considered, intentional, and precisely executed.
With deep experience in luxury multifamily and hospitality interior design, IMI Design understands how interior architecture shapes not only space but also sales, influencing pro formas, brand positioning, and the emotional triggers that define buyer response.

Philanthropy
At IMI Design, the belief that interior design can elevate the human spirit extends far beyond private commissions. Anita Lang consistently uses her platform within the interior design world to champion the creative arts, support underserved communities, and foster the next generation of talent.
In 2007, she founded the Inspire Foundation — a nonprofit that brings together interior designers, architects, educators, and master craftspeople to provide meaningful support to women and children in crisis. Her commitment to community enrichment continues through her board work with The Walter Hive, the Arizona State University Art Museum, and her active support for Scottsdale Arts and other regional cultural initiatives.
Inside the interior design studio, IMI Design runs an immersive mentorship and internship program designed to nurture emerging interior design professionals — a reflection of the studio’s values of excellence, generosity, and legacy-building.
For Anita and her team, the impact of thoughtful interior design goes well beyond aesthetics. It connects people. It preserves tradition. And it creates ripple effects — elevating not only the spaces we design, but the lives those spaces touch.
