Every space tells a story.
My approach to design is rooted in emotional storytelling, each concept begins with a feeling I want people to have when they enter a space. From there, I build and layer details that define the experience. The finishes, the lighting, and the flow all become part of the narrative, shaping an environment that feels cohesive, intentional, and deeply personal.
Over the past 19 years, I’ve refined a process that moves fluidly between larger architectural gestures and intimate details. Each layer of thought is visible in the materials, in the proportions, and in the way elements play together to create a cohesive experience.
When branding, design elements and architecture align, the result is more than a beautiful space, it becomes a complete environment that communicates identity and emotion in equal measure.
My career began in 2006 under the noted architect Costas Kondylis, where I learned the intricacies of the design industry through a corporate lens. In 2018, I founded my own boutique studio to embrace the balance between a holistic creative process and the technicalities of construction, where artistry and practicality enhance one another.
Asprea Studio takes a multidisciplinary approach, from concept and custom furnishings to project management and construction oversight. Over the past seven years, we’ve designed more than $600M in new construction and complex renovations, creating striking, emotionally resonant results for developers, private homeowners, and hoteliers alike
