Available to hire
Hi, I’m Teresa Arana. I’m an architectural designer and jewelry designer with a passion for blending form and function across spaces and objects. My work ranges from residential and hospitality design to millwork development and fine jewelry making, allowing me to approach projects with a holistic, craft-informed mindset from concept through construction.
I thrive in collaborative environments, value clear communication, and enjoy turning client ideas into tangible, well-crafted solutions. With experience across architecture, product design, and graphic design, I bring hands-on modeling, fabrication awareness, and a meticulous eye for detail to every project.
