ona Gjoni Design Company LLC was created

in 2018. After years of contracting with various design companies, BG Design was created with the purpose of bringing heart and meaning back into design, to show love for the artform and to reconnect with clients. It was about forming an intimate relationship with your clients, to get to know each other which in turn would equip you to best carefully guide them through the process of turning their space into a place they could call home. 

Bona started her studies with a pre med undergraduate degree majoring in Psychology from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. While in her medical studies in Zagreb, Croatia, she would often find herself lost in the centuries old architecture of the post-communist, breathtakingly beautiful country. After having one of the chicest apartments amongst her classmates, she realized that medicine may be the wrong field for her. She would then return home to receive her second degree in Fashion Merchandising and work for big box companies such as Ann Taylor, Macy’s and Zara. After working for several staging and design companies in the DMV area, Bona decided that she had learned all she needed to and it was time to branch off on her own, therefore the birth of Bona Gjoni Design Company.  

When she is not working, Bona loves to acquire new skills such as learning Italian or taking Jiu-Jitsu. She is an avid meditator and is devoted to her weekly yoga and fitness classes as it is essential to always have your body, mind and spirit aligned in order to show up best for yourself and others. You can often find her visiting her large and loud Albanian family that she adores. 

Bona currently lives in Washington, DC - in the beautiful area of Georgetown in a charming 1930’s apartment with her partner in crime.
