My Background and philosophy
I am a multidisciplinary designer who creates spaces and experiences where authenticity and human presence come alive. I work across interiors, digital design, and visual storytelling, guided by curiosity, craft, and a love for detail.
For me, design is more than function — spaces and objects hold memory, emotion, and atmosphere. I approach it with the same sensitivity I bring to photography: an attention to light, intimacy, and the quiet details that reveal a story.
I began in real estate but soon discovered my true passion in creation. That path led me into design and photography, supported by formal training in Interior Design at Parsons and a Master’s in Artistic Photography at EFTI in Madrid.

inspiration
My inspirations come from many places — photography, art, and cinema have all shaped how I see. I return often to Francesca Woodman, Luigi Ghirri, Glen Erler, Pierre Gonnord, and Guy Bourdin; to the works of Jean Dubuffet, Giacometti, Basquiat, and Keith Haring; and to films like The Piano, True Romance, and Rust and Bone. Each of them, in their own way, taught me to look for intensity, authenticity, and poetry beneath appearances. This is how I approach interior design: a space is revealed, not decorated. A space, like a portrait, carries life’s pulse. A room can hold the same intensity as a photograph or a film scene, where memory and presence quietly unfold.
design in all dimensions
I’m drawn to interior design because it allows my deepest instincts — toward transformation, authenticity, beauty, and poetry — to take shape in the world. I’m inspired by natural materials, wabi-sabi philosophy, and the Japanese sense of harmony: beauty in imperfection, grace in simplicity, strength in restraint. I value spaces that feel alive — tactile surfaces, subtle layers of color, light that shifts through the day — and that invite presence and belonging, not perfection — see an example here.
UX/UI is another dimension of my practice, approached with the same principles: clarity, flow, and human-centered experience. By listening to users and refining through iteration, I create digital environments that are as intuitive and elegant as the physical spaces we inhabit — one of my UX projects is here.
What i bring
I bring more than just design solutions — I bring a presence that shapes environments with intention and heart. My work is grounded in deep listening, so each space reflects the person who lives in it.
I am a quick learner and highly effective communicator, able to bridge the poetic and the practical. I guide projects from start to finish, combining material beauty with thoughtful function. I create interiors that unfold naturally, honoring both strength and vulnerability, with every detail serving authenticity and presence.
I also bring global fluency (English, Russian, Spanish, Italian), multi-disciplinary expertise (photography, graphics, product design), and a dedication to materials, craft, and storytelling to each project.
