ABOUT ME

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.

Design is how it works.”

Steve Jobs

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 skills in time management, teamwork, and client services.

In search of new adventures, I turned to my old passion for design moving from Argentina to Australia to pursue a career in Interior Design. My driving force for design is functionality, combining the elements and principles of design to create a holistic and innovative design concept.

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 exciting projects.

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.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT

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.

WOMEN'S SECTION ELEVATION

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 custommade joinery detailing, were requested.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT This idea was inspired by Messina's 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 creative is 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.

03 MAKE IT WORK Tasked to design the new library for Melbourne's Australian Pacific College.

The client stated they required the area to hold at least 500 volumes, offer chill/study spaces for further privacy, and seat up to 20 people at once.

Additionally, a desk for a librarian and a designated area for three computers for student use was requested.

To make the most of the available space, a flexible space must be developed. a few pop-ups and a muted colouring scheme.

CONCEPT BOARD

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Funcionality

Accessibility

The space given is not too big, so the furniture and any other pieces that we might want to add, need to have a functionality in the space.

The library has to be design for everyone, so the needs of people with disabilities have to be specifically considered in our proposed solution.

ADDING TOUCHES OF COLOUR, YES OR NO?

Creativity

Joinery

Coming up with a creative design solution for the client's requirements.

How are we going to fit 20 people, plus a desk for the librarian, and the 4 computer for student access.

Custom made furniture might be a better solution as it will help us make better use of the spaces.

Flexibility

Storage

Think of how we can make the most of the space, by maybe including furniture that does not need to be fixed and give the freedom to rearrange the spaces as needed.

We need to accommodate up to 500 books. Is not too much but will be better to always add a bit more of storage for any other stuff that could be needed.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT 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 providing plenty of storage space.

The neutral colour scheme that was used, along with yellow, green, and grey hues on the furniture, helped to balance the area and establish harmony with the rest of the Campus.

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.

Handles and taps need to be carefully thought through, as she finds some of them difficult to maneuver.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT With the client's strong desire for a personalized residence, the "Just for You" project aims to create a space tailored precisely to her preferences. This concept promises to deliver a home where every detail reflects her taste and vision.

Drawing inspiration from a modern Moroccan aesthetic infused with European elegance, the design strikes a harmonious balance. Louisa's love for European style is seamlessly blended with elements of Moroccan flair, resulting in a unique and inviting atmosphere.

The color palette spans from warm terracotta tones to a variety of subtle old pinks, adding depth and character to the space.

Visitors to Louisa's new home will immediately sense its bespoke nature, crafted exclusively for her. Yet, they will also find themselves welcomed into a space that exudes comfort and hospitality, inviting them to feel at ease.

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 fitness studio.

Considering zoning off the living and the dining rooms was something the client mentioned, together with a nook for his dog.

A full pack of construction drawings was asked to be presented to his own contractor.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT 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.

06 THERE'S NO PLACE I'D RATHER BE 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.

They want their home to be as safe as possible, with no sharp edges or anything the baby could hurt themselves on.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES DESIGN STATEMENT 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.
