Meet Your Designer

Hello, this is Eliza

My goal as an interior designer is equally about creating physical space as well as emotional space, in other words designing projects that elevate the experience of everyday living. My focus is on getting all the components of a space just right – layout, functionality, natural and artificial light, materials, furniture and decor.

I am passionate about transforming old, run-down properties or adding character and serenity to new ones. I work with natural textures and materials, layering neutral, tactile surfaces, pairing modern design elements with one-of-a-kind artisanal objects. The magic is in the mix and knowing how to make it all work seamlessly together.

 
 

“I strongly believe that successful projects emerge from a close-knit relationship between a client and their designer. Through their shared sense of aesthetics and way of life, the designer ultimately becomes the project’s dreamer-in-chief. With experience, technical skills and the power to envision what will become, the designer strikes the perfect balance between beauty and function, drawing a highly personal story for each space and for each individual client.”

Testimonials

Eliza has a great eye for design, what works and what doesn’t. She is passionate about her work and very hands-on as well as always easy to reach especially with the myriad decisions one has to make every step of the way.

Wardija Project

Eliza cared about our home conversion as though it was her own. As someone who is often abroad, it was important to have a designer whom I could trust with the aesthetics of the design, but also the problem solving, coordination and ensuring the quality and timeliness of whole process from beginning to end.

RIAD IL-BIRGU project

Eliza transformed my apartment with vision and creative use of space reflecting my lifestyle and taste. She created a place that feels peaceful and has made it unique with some forgotten gems she found in my garage! She coordinated the whole implementation stages so I didn’t have to be so absorbed in all the details and jobsite craziness.
