The visionary behind creation of next design studio

Her many years of experience in diverse sectors of design industry provide solid foundation for the firm’s expertise, reputation, and vision.

Svetlana’s career path let her collaborate, learn, and contribute with such interior design giants as Gensler, CRTKL, Gettys and HBA with projects spanning from US to Europe and Asia.

An avid traveler, Svetlana has a unique insight into approaching the design from a more worldly and multi-cultured perspective. Her passion for design, thirst for knowledge and commitment to sustainability reflects in thoughtful, deliberate, elegant, and unique projects.

Our team structure reflects the best practices of today’s leading design firms. Instead of maintaining a huge presence in the US and passing on this cost to the clients, we bring together experts from all over the world based on the needs of the project.

Our core team is based in Santa Monica, CA, with an East Coast presence via our partnership with a design-build company in Miami, FL. Our extended team includes talent in faraway places like Ukraine, India and the Philippines.

Our global network of talent makes us a 24-hour operation without the extra fees typically charged for off-hours work.
