I am Olivia Alvarez, a cross-disciplinary designer with 7+ years across architecture, interiors, product design, exhibitions, and 3D visualization. At UN Studio, I contributed to NeoM’s The Line and Trojena Slopes Residences, developing interiors, furniture, material systems, and presentations. I translate concepts into clear, compelling spatial experiences for remote teams while maintaining strong organization, communication, and detail precision. I have founded and led design studios, directed product and interior concepts for high-profile clients (Zeekr flagship stores, Dubai Airport spaces), and managed global logistics for exhibitions. I’m proficient in Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Creative Suite, digital fabrication, and AI-assisted workflows, translating ideas into tangible outcomes with a collaborative, detail-focused approach.
