Barbara Parker and Miriam Torres, Parker-Torres

Barbara Parker and Miriam Torres made their way into design independently but it wasn't long before they decided to go into business together, after a mutual colleague pointed out their complementary talents.  In 2004, they founded their Boston-based firm Parker-Torres Design. Over the past 19 years, Parker and Torres have brought their visionary touches to a slate of renowned properties, including the Ritz-Carlton Marina Del Rey and InterContinental Washington, DC - the Wharf, leading to their induction into Hospitality Design's Platinum Circle hall of fame in 2022. As for what makes their partnership such a success, they credit the passion and dedication they pour into every project. "We're fortunate that we just happen to do what we love to do," Torres says.
