I’m Kateryna, an architect and interior designer from Ukraine with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in developing architectural concepts and interior design for residential and public spaces. After relocating to France in 2022, I worked with NAME Architecture in Paris, gaining experience on both local and international projects, including in the HORECA sector. Since 2024, I’ve been self-employed in France, balancing independent work with team collaborations. I enjoy working closely with clients to uncover their real needs, and I bring creativity, structure, and empathy to every stage of a project. For me, each project is not just a task, but an engaging process of discovery and design. I welcome the opportunity to discuss potential collaborations and contribute to your projects with professional expertise and dedication.
