María, Cathy, and Esther make up WANNA, a creative studio for space design and branding, specialized in creating brand stories for interiors. WANNA collaborates with both individuals and companies who enjoy breaking the rules of design and branding, as much as its founders do.

They have developed several retail, hospitality, residential, and ephemeral installation projects and have received a multitude of awards, including the Hospitality Design Award in New York, for their most recognized project: 2060 The Newton Hostel.

Ana Milena Hernández Palacios, creative director of Masquespacio, was born in Colombia but has lived in Spain since she was young. As soon as she finished her degree in interior architecture, she founded Masquespacio, a creative interior design consultancy, in order to explore her creative abilities.

Under this brand she has been involved with projects in Spain, Germany, Norway, Portugal, and the United States. She has been recognized internationally in the media and has received several awards throughout her career, such as the Massimo Dutti Nuevos Valores from AD Spain and the Wave of the Future Award for Hospitality Design. She has also won awards for individual projects such as the Hospitality Design Award, Wallpaper Award, and Red Dot.

Her designs include L'Atelier Rouge in New York; Vino Veritas restaurant in Norway; Solera supermarket in Cologne; Hikari and Nozomi restaurants in Valencia and the Valencia Lounge Hostel.

A Spainish native, Miriam Alía is known for her original use of color and light in her professional projects. After finishing her studies in interior design and working in different studios to perfect her style, in 2016, she founded her own interior design—Miriam Alía Studio & Showroom, in Madrid, where she works on both commercial and residential projects.

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.

Ana García is the director of NeuronaLab, architecture studio and healthy space consultancy. After cofounding Nook Architects, where she has also managed projects for over ten years, as well as creating the Zamness coworking spaces, she is beginning a new professional chapter in which her projects will be based on neuroarchitecture and bioconstruction.

Ana is a Barcelona-born architect who specializes in designing spaces built for both living and working. She adapts each of her projects to the characteristics of the space in question, reassessing their role according to the needs of the inhabitants to achieve healthy spaces centered around well-being and comfort. Her work goes hand in hand with teaching and she currently directs a Master's in interior urban spaces at the LCI Barcelona.

After graduating in architecture, Mónica Vega founded LumLum in 2014, her own studio in Mexico City devoted to architectural lighting design for interior spaces, primarily restaurants, offices, and stores.

Through extensive research and documentation, LumLum seeks to convey emotion using light as a medium. Most of her projects are located in the capital, but she also works all over the country, providing tailored solutions to each client and building.
