Jelena D.
Interior architect with over nine years of experience and a PhD in architecture. Jelena’s work lies at the intersection of spatial logic and artistic expression — shaping interiors that are calm, precise, and quietly poetic. She focuses on timeless design that resists trends, where every detail is intentional, serving both function and emotion. From residential to hospitality projects, each space is treated as a thoughtful composition: guided by clarity, rooted in context, and designed to endure.
Describe your go-to style:
My go-to style is where contemporary interior meets warmth, think timeless, grounded interiors that feel curated, never over-designed. I love working with custom furniture, layered textures, and subtle contrasts that bring depth without visual noise. Every design tells a story, and mine are calm, artistic, and built to last.
What drives you to design?
Design is my way of solving problems with beauty. I’m driven by the power of thoughtful interiors to improve how people feel and function in their everyday lives. It’s deeply rewarding to create spaces that are not only aesthetic but intentional, spaces that support real living.
From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
I draw inspiration from art, architecture, and human behavior. I’m fascinated by how people move through and emotionally respond to space. Philosophical design thinking and timeless materials — from wabi-sabi to mid-century restraint, often influence my choices.
