Hi, I’m Kyle Valadas, an emerging interior designer with a background in hospitality and event management. I’ve developed a strong sense of how people experience and move through spaces, and I’m passionate about balancing aesthetics with function in commercial interiors. My experience in hospitality, events, and public spaces informs my approach to user-centered design, spatial flow, and intuitive solutions. I’m proficient in 3D printing and hands-on model making, and I enjoy exploring materiality with personal equipment. I’m excited to join a dynamic, fast-paced studio where I can grow as a designer, contribute to innovative interiors, and learn from a talented team. I’m also a leader and team player with a long history in Scouts, which has shaped my organizational and collaborative skills.
