Mohamad Fardous: Detroit to Miami — New Collaborations and the Search for Emerging Artists
From Detroit to Miami: Expanding the Creative Footprint
Mohamad Fardous, the Detroit-based artist and founder of Karma by Design, has never been one to stay within borders — artistic or geographic. Over the past year, his vision has stretched far beyond the Motor City, landing in Miami, where a wave of new collaborations with local artists is reshaping the studio's creative direction.
Miami's vibrant, multicultural art scene has long been a magnet for collectors and creators alike. By partnering with Miami-based artists, Mohamad is bringing fresh perspectives, bold color palettes, and Latin-inspired motifs into the Karma by Design universe. These collaborations are producing limited-edition Statement Pieces that fuse Detroit grit with Miami heat — a cross-cultural dialogue rendered in epoxy resin, high-gloss finishes, and authentic designer textiles.
Luxury Hotel Partnerships: Art as Hospitality
The expansion doesn't stop with individual artists. Karma by Design has recently secured partnerships with several luxury hotel brands, bringing bespoke artwork into some of the most prestigious hospitality spaces in the country. These collaborations go beyond simple wall decor — they are immersive, site-specific installations designed to elevate the guest experience and reinforce each property's unique brand identity.
Through our Hospitality Art Advisory program, we work hand-in-hand with interior designers, architects, and brand teams to curate collections that resonate with the property's aesthetic and clientele. From dramatic lobby installations to cohesive guest-room collections, every piece is crafted with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. And with the security of Studio Escrow, our hospitality clients enjoy a transparent, risk-free procurement process from concept to installation.
An Open Call: Join the Karma by Design Platform
As the studio's footprint grows, so does the need for fresh talent. Mohamad Fardous and the Karma by Design team are actively seeking new artists to join the platform through Creator Connect — a comprehensive marketing ecosystem built in partnership with House of Karma (HOK Detroit).
Creator Connect is designed to remove the traditional barriers that hold artists back. Selected creators gain access to a full suite of professional services: brand development, high-end content production, digital marketing, exhibition opportunities, and secure transaction tools via Studio Escrow. The goal is simple: let artists focus on creating, while the platform handles the business.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for artists who share our core belief that art should mean something. Whether you work in resin, mixed media, painting, digital art, or sculpture — if your work challenges conventions and sparks conversation, we want to see it. Priority is given to artists based in or connected to Detroit and Miami, but talent knows no borders; submissions are open nationwide.
Selected artists will have the opportunity to showcase their work in future exhibits, collaborate on limited-edition collections, and participate in our luxury hospitality installations. This is more than a gallery representation — it is a partnership designed to build sustainable, purposeful careers.
The Road Ahead
The Miami collaborations and luxury hotel partnerships are just the beginning. Mohamad Fardous envisions Karma by Design as a national — and eventually global — platform where artists, collectors, and brands converge to create meaningful, impactful art. With the backing of House of Karma's marketing ecosystem, the security of Studio Escrow, and a growing community of collectors and creators, the foundation is set.
If you are an artist ready to take the next step, or a collector looking to discover the next wave of talent, we invite you to join us.
