ABOUT ME
My Story
Skills
My journey as a designer started when I began to paint oil as a child and adventure myself with pottery after school times.
Moving to the UK at age 16, I soon after entered Architecture School and have not stopped designing since. I was awarded a BA with Merit in Architecture which equipped me with the technical capabilities to execute a project from start to finish.
​
In 2018, having purchased an apartment in London I started to refurbish the space around me. Later that same year, I pursued a postgraduate degree in Contemporary Interior design through Istituto Marangoni London.
Now recently awarded an MA with distinction, I am seeking some experience in the industry. I began taking small residential projects on my own and founded The Lar Studios in 2021.
​
I am currently seeking to work within a creative team with an interest in beautiful design, luxury and sustainability. This has been incorporated in project narratives that consider different ways of living with the aim of designing personal and tailored spaces. During my time at the Kent School of Architecture, I developed an interest in sustainability and wellbeing that influenced my design approach. Paired with luxury and attention to materials, the passion for sustainable luxury was explored during my time at Istituto Marangoni London. I am an energetic and sensitive designer that considers the users and the environment when designing.
