Hi, I’m Cara Cesar Sea. I’m a Seattle-based interior designer with 5+ years of experience shaping residential, retail, and commercial spaces. I love translating clients’ lifestyles into thoughtful environments, and I bring a practical approach to vendor selection and art curation.
My toolkit spans 3D modeling, FF&E selections, architectural rendering, hand drawing, and graphic design. I’m proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and more, and I enjoy collaborating with design and construction teams to deliver cohesive spaces.
