 Inspiration
My passion for architecture began as a child when my home was the most sacred of all places. Our house had high, open, cathedral-like spaces that were both beautiful and simple. Home meant family, comfort and a place where my imagination could roam free.
Today, my goal is to create environments where individuals and families can find harmony at home — to develop spaces that are beautiful, spiritual, simple, comfortable and sustainable — and to provide design solutions that meet everyone's needs.

Bio
Mindi Poston Gay, Principal Designer and Owner of MPG home design, L.L.C., has been a designer in the field of Architecture for over fifthteen years. Mindi is a graduate of the Boston Architectural College where she received a Bachelor Degree in Architecture. During her studies, she received the Herbert Glassman Award for excellence in professional and individual growth, was nominated for the Nast Award for portfolio design, and exhibited at the BAC. Her appreciation for home design and family led to her Thesis topic entitled, Intergenerational Public Housing for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.
Mindi's career started with an internship at Payette Associates of Boston, MA where she worked on large projects such as the Corporate/Clinical Research building for Genetics Institute in Boston, MA., an Engineering and Sciences building for Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT, a Medical Research facility for the University of Iowa and renovations for Children's Hospital of Boston and Cambridge Hospital in MA.
Later, she joined EGA Architects in Newburyport, MA where she worked as Project Manager and Designer for Senior Living Housing and Facilities including The Hill at Whitemarsh in Whitemarsh, PA, Sunnybrook Fields in Ludlow, MA, and Nichols Village in Groveland, MA. Along with EGA and a private development team, she also collaborated on an RFP for the Archdiocese of Boston on a historic preservation of the well-known Newburyport properties, William Pierce Johnson House, William Bartlett House and St. Louis De Gonzaque Church. The proposal was selected as one of the top 4 out of 100 submissions.
Mindi's appreciation of New England architecture eventually brought her to TMS Architects of Portsmouth, NH, and later to Carpenter & MacNeille Architects, Builders and Interiors of Essex, MA — both firms specializing in high-end custom homes. At C&M she worked as Project Manager, Intern Architect and as an Assistant to the Director of Interior Design on residential renovations and additions. This collaboration with old and new, architecture and interior design, eventually fueled the desire to establish MPG home designs.
At MPG, Mindi has worked on many renovations and additions from baths to decks, porches, interiors and just about everything, including the kitchen sink. Most importantly, she loves working with clients to create affordable solutions to their toughest design challenges — solutions that combine beauty and simplicity, old and new, modern and traditional.
