ABOUT MARINA

Born in Eastern Europe and now based in Vancouver, Canada, I bring over a decade of experience in interior design. After earning a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design, I honed my skills while working at several leading Canadian design firms before establishing my own practice in 2019.

My extensive travels across North America, Europe and the Caribbean and parts of Africa and Asia have enriched my design perspective, allowing me to draw inspiration from the diverse cultures and environments that I was fortunate to visit. This global exposure informs my approach, blending timeless elegance with contemporary sensibilities.

With a tireless curiosity for all things designed and a strong passion for the built environment and interiors, I am always learning and continuously expanding my expertise and skill set to deliver design solutions that are functional, beautiful, environmentally responsible and innovative.


PERFECTION IS ACHIEVED, NOT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO ADD, BUT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO TAKE AWAY.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

My passion for interior design is tied closely to my enthusiasm for life and my appreciation for the art of living well. Physical environment is proven to have tremendous impact on our physical and psychological well being, our happiness and life satisfaction. When designing spaces that are beautiful, organized and efficient, I want to help my clients set the stage for what matters most - meaningful relationships, fulfilling work, precious time of play and relaxation. Although I am inspired by many different design styles and aesthetics, I believe in a simple intuitive approach in order to achieve the most effective design solution. 


SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION.
— Leonardo da Vinci
