About

I’m an Interior Architect & Designer with experience across residential projects, from concept development through to detailed design and procurement. I have worked on the renovation of a four-story villa and garden in Marbella, as well as other residential projects where I have been involved in developing furniture packs and coordinating design details. My experience includes spatial planning, material selection, technical drawings, 3D modelling, visualisation and client communication. With a Nordic design background, I bring a refined, functional and sustainability-focused approach, combined with strong attention to detail, initiative and a practical understanding of the design process.

Your Corner is a conceptual care and community project for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, designed around independence, orientation, wellbeing, and social interaction. The aim was to create a warm, stimulating environment that feels residential rather than institutional. The design combines a memory clinic, movement spaces, and distinct home zones with spaces for art, mindfulness, and social interaction, centred around a Parisian-style café and landscaped gardens. A palette of light timber, stone, ceramics, natural textiles, and greenery creates a warm, calming, and tactile environment that feels residential rather than institutional. Location: Paris, France Year: 2026

Casa Alba is a comprehensive renovation of a four-story villa and garden close to Marbella old town, bringing together Nordic simplicity with the warmth and character of Mediterranean living. The design centres on natural materials, warm neutral tones, considered lighting, and a strong connection between interior and exterior. Walnut, stone, soft textiles, and layered greenery create a cohesive material language throughout the home, while large openings and carefully framed views connect the interiors to the surrounding garden and landscape. The result is a calm, contemporary home that balances functionality, warmth, and understated luxury. Location: Marbella Year: 2026

Lagom Lodge is a self-sufficient microhome designed for Klövsjö, a settlement in northern Sweden experiencing sustained population decline and infrastructural underutilization. ​ This design develops the idea of lagom, “just the right amount”, into a technical strategy for minimizing energy demand, material mass, and operational dependency. Roof-integrated photovoltaic panels, on-site battery storage, and rainwater harvesting enable off-grid operation, emphasizing resilience and lifecycle performance over gadget-driven sustainability.

Oasis Marbella Wellness Centre reclaims an existing facility through biophilic design and the experiential strategy of mystery, creating a restorative environment shaped by movement, perception, and materiality. The project transforms the existing structure into a continuous spatial journey, where architecture, rather than individual rooms, defines the experience of wellness. Vegetation blurs interior–exterior boundaries and introduces tactile and sensory richness throughout the centre. Curvilinear forms guide circulation through moments of concealment and discovery, controlling pace, orientation, and visual depth. Natural materials, greenery, and carefully framed views create a calm yet dynamic atmosphere. Location: Marbella, Spain Year: 2025
