About Elena
» The details are not the details. They make the design.»
Charles Eames
With an eye for colour and scale, Elena specialises in curating distinctive spaces, combining modern elements of style in a way that’s at once contemporary and timeless.
That style is informed by the breadth and variety of her 20 years of experience in design and property development. Working with various clients in the UK and overseas, Elena developed her own unique signature style that is filled with light, vibrant colours and provides clients with spaces that are functional, fresh and uniquely their own. Elena works in residential and commercial design, and can handle several projects at once. Her experience varies from complete refurbishment and full redevelopment of large scale properties from beginning to end as well as running small design projects like refurbishment of bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
MA in Architectural Interior Design from a world known reputable Inchbald School of Design in London honed her technical skills (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Vecrtorworks, Adobe Photoshop, free hand drawing, sketching, painting). Elena enriched her creativity and structured her experience, as well as developed width and deep knowledge of artisan manufactures and providers in architecture, building and design.
Before undertaking a career in design, Elena had a successful international career. She was working for the European Commission and the United Nations. In her last position as a Country Director, she was managing a large country programme for one of the UN agencies. Elena can work under pressure and time constraints, she had a breadth of experience managing multimillion country budgets and large teams for various projects, delivering quality in time.
Elena is a very keen photographer and artist, often using her work, especially paintings, in her design projects.
