Hi, I'm Martina Giustra, Italian licensed architect and interior designer with 15 years of experience shaping hospitality, public sector, education, and luxury residential projects. I specialize in FF&E coordination, BoQ development, and producing detailed specifications, with a track record spanning from initial concepts through execution. I work with Archicad, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and V-Ray, as well as the Adobe Creative Suite and AI tools, and I enjoy collaborating with clients, suppliers, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver elegant, functional spaces. Based in Budapest, I’m open to remote work from Vienna and other locations. My career includes academic research and publishing, including PhD work on Makovecz’s architecture and contributions to journals; I’ve worked with the Department of Residential Design (ÉPK) at BME and the Marcel Breuer Doctoral School, and I continue to share insights through publications and design discourse. I strive to combine technical rigor with an artisanal sensitivity for high-end interiors and spaces that support social engagement.
