My mother and I have shared a love for design ever since I can remember, spending endless hours together watching home renovation shows on TV while sharing and drinking mate, a sacred tradition in Argentina.
Early in my career, I dedicated myself to business administration, acquiring expertise in trade marketing and sales. Developing outstanding skillsintimemanagement,teamwork,andclientservices.
Insearchofnewadventures,Iturnedtomyoldpassionfordesignmoving from Argentina to Australia to pursue a career in Interior Design. My driving force for design is functionality, combining the elements and principlesofdesigntocreateaholisticandinnovativedesignconcept.
My career in Interior Design is just beginning, and I am looking forward to new opportunities. I hope that we can work together in the future on excitingprojects.

01 PROJECT EARTH
We've been requested to design a large-scale Popup retail store for an online brand of our choice.
The one selected was LSKD, an Australian activewear brand.
Usually, they create clothing for children, men, and women, but they wanted to showcase Project Earth for this store. Just for adults of both sexes, they feature a distinctive collection of recycledfabric clothing.
We have been given permission to open up the middle commercial space so that we can connect the three that we have been allocated.

Their final requirement was for at least three pieces of custom-made joinery, including a point-of-sale system, a retail display, and an interactive display.

DESIGNSTATEMENT
Project Earth was inspired by their new project in which their main goal is to assure that their daily practices are environmentally sustainable.
Therefore, our design has to be up to and aligned with the wishes of the client. Recycled and/or sustainable materials, improving energy efficiency, and smart use of natural lighting and the colour palette is chosen so as to create brother spaces.
We want to help them reduce the environmental impact not only in their clothing production but also in their stores, and like that have a cohesive story to tell to their clients in every single aspect of their business.
The planet needs more heroes, so being able to leave our mark with a greener design is a must.

02 YOU'RE INVITED
For the new hospitality venue, retail shop, and corporate offices of Gelato Messina, two levels of a famous Melbourne CBD building had to be renovated. The two ground-floor commercial areas were intended to house the gelato shop and the retail store, while Level 1 was meant for the offices.
All three spaces must include branding. They should all have a consistent design that makes them flow and logically link.
Construction drawings, including any structural changes and building services, along with custommadejoinery detailing, were requested.

This idea was inspired by Messinas gelato flavors. Each of them is unique, made with its own ingredients and recipes, so I wanted to capture that and take it into the design.
A very unique and different concept, where colours,textures,and patterns would be mixed so to provide an exceptional experience throughout the place.
We were also asked to design the offices which are going to be used by the marketing team, so being creativeis a must. From the furniture to the wallpapers or paint colour chosen, everything will be selected having this in mind. But always being functional and ergonomically thought out.

Whether you decide to get extra resources and work on your assessments, or just relax and have a good reading, the "Make it Work" library can provide it all.
Our distinctive custom-made joinery stands out and creates the "wow" reaction we want visitors to have when they enter. Students frequently avoid libraries because they are perceived as "boring" locations, but here we will take them on a happy adventure.
The decision for incorporating a crosshatched pattern to the bookshelf not only makes it a focal point but is still functional while

04 JUST FOR YOU
Special project because it involved designing the final home for a 76-year-old woman. Accessibility was our primary priority because Louisa has some mobility limitations. She wanted to include European design elements in her home to bring back memories of her travels with her recently deceased husband. Additionally, she enjoys reading and writing to her friends.
She is very close with her family and friends and enjoys having them around and spending time with them. There must be ample seats for them in the living and dining room.

DESIGNSTATEMENT
Based on the client's big desire to have her final residence designed as she wishes, "Just for you" is a concept that will give her exactly that. A place where she can feel that every little detail was thought for her.
A modern Moroccan style bringing that European feeling she loves but very elegant too.
The colour palette goes from terracotta hues and a different range of old pinks.
Everyone that would come to visit Louisa in her amazing new home will know that was exactly designed for her, but they will also feel that is a place where they can feel comfortable and invited.

THE ULTIMATE INDUSTRIAL SCAPE
The main characters in this residential project are James Flint and his dog Dot. They were moving into a split-level apartment that needed to be renovated. He asked to have the majority of the house's rooms redesigned with specific requests in mind, such as adding drama to the main room and turning the second room into a small fitnessstudio.
Considering zoning off the living and the dining rooms was something the client mentioned, together with a nook for his dog.

The Ultimate Industrial Scape has its focuses on creating a masculine New York warehouse-style home.
The colour palette is based on black, metal, and brown tones, but with the addition of some greens from indoor plants.
Timber is going to be used to replace the existing floors all around the house and exposed bricks in the main wall will be added to create this factory feeling.
My idea was to create a place where the client can “escape” from the outside world and come back to a relaxing but still functional place where he can have it all

Juliana and Kyle currently live in Cairns, where they bought their first house, which has great potential for restoration&renovation.
Juliana is 5 months pregnant so they need to transform one of the bedrooms into a nursery room. They requested enough storage for all the baby clothes and toys that their family already bought. They requested a neutral colour palette but with the addition of pop-ups in furniture or a feature wall in the baby's room.

There s no place I'd rather be...", that's precisely where I got the inspiration for coming up with this design concept. Juliana and Kyle are about to have their first baby, so where else they would like to be rather than home?
Functional spaces, that are not only beautiful but that are going to make their life simpler. Big sofa, big dining table, family coming over, therefore, every room should be as comfortable as possible.
Punches of muted colour here and there, to create more inviting spaces. Interior plants also bring life into the rooms and layered textures finalize the style.
Contemporary look, with some Mid Century Modern furniture, keeping it always simple and uncluttered.
