Our Mission

Some of our most memorable experiences happen while traveling.

Whether it's a boutique hotel, private villa, or our favorite restaurant, certain spaces leave a lasting impression long after we return home.

Ronin Builds was created to bring that feeling into everyday life through custom interiors designed and built around the way you live.

The Studio

What's Ronin?

Ronin Builds was founded by Michael Misa with a simple idea: create custom interiors with the same level of attention, detail, and experience found in the world's best hotels, restaurants, and private residences.

Today, Ronin Builds partners with homeowners, designers, and builders throughout Tampa Bay to design, fabricate, and install custom cabinetry and built-ins tailored to each space.

Our mission: Ronin Builds brings the feeling of boutique hotels and villas into everyday life through custom interiors

Our Approach

Good design should feel effortless.

Behind that simplicity is a process built around planning, precision, and execution.

We spend more time designing so there are fewer surprises during fabrication and installation. The result is a cleaner process and a better finished product.

Materials and Craft

Built to last.

  • Premium materials.
  • Precision fabrication.
  • Integrated lighting.
  • Thoughtful hardware.
  • Clean installation.

Every detail is selected for durability, functionality, and design that feels like you.

Our Process

01

Discovery

Every project begins with understanding how you live, work, and use the space. We discuss your goals, aesthetic preferences, and functional needs to ensure we're the right fit.

02

Design

We develop layouts, material selections, and visual concepts that bring the vision to life. Every detail is refined before fabrication begins.

03

Fabrication

Components are precision fabricated using furniture-grade materials to ensure consistency, quality, and 1 of 1 pieces.

04

Installation

Each project is carefully installed and finished with attention to the smallest details, delivering a seamless experience from concept to completion.
