About

Hi, I’m Manuela — an Architectural and Interior Designer based in Adelaide, Australia, with international experience across Australia and Colombia.

My background spans residential, commercial, workplace, retail, and public-space projects, combining architecture, interior design, visual merchandising, and experiential design. I have contributed to projects for leading organisations such as Google and Bet365, and have also worked as a Visual Designer with Faume, delivering design concepts and visual experiences for public-space activations and community-focused projects, including initiatives for Rundle Mall in Adelaide.

I specialise in concept development, spatial planning, interior design, material and finish selection, 3D modelling, visualisation, and technical documentation using AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite. My experience ranges from developing creative design concepts and client presentations to coordinating project delivery and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, suppliers, and stakeholders.

With a strong eye for detail and aesthetics, I enjoy transforming ideas into thoughtful, functional, and visually compelling spaces. Whether designing interiors, creating event and activation concepts, producing presentation packages, or developing architectural documentation, I focus on delivering solutions that balance creativity, user experience, and practical implementation.

I believe great design goes beyond aesthetics—it creates meaningful experiences, strengthens connections between people and spaces, and brings a client’s vision to life. My goal is to deliver high-quality work, clear communication, and a collaborative design process from concept through to completion.
