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.

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.
