Analyze the needs that arise, obtaining as much information as possible from your client through a brief, and learning about their lifestyle. Next, decide the aesthetic line to follow.

Now define colors and materials using a mood board, and learn to create an environment with both artificial lighting and natural light. Then decide the finishes and final touches.

very repetitive and based only around one style - namely the designer's own current style and taste. my expectations were to learn more about different styles, or at least a few.. it is almost like a showcase home, the custom furniture and tiles are beautiful, but learning-wise, i learnt very little.
Thanks to her commitment and unequivocal passion for her line of work, she has built a successful career and worked on many large interior design projects, including an entire hotel in Moscow, Russia, which was recognized by the Spanish magazine Interiores. In addition, she inaugurated her furniture collection with her own brand I AM ALÍA, achieving one of her main career targets. Her work has been published in magazines such as Elle Decor, Nuevo Estilo, and Architectural Digest.
