ABOUT
Meet Manolya — designer, stylist, and creative director for spaces that foster emotional resonance around the ways we gather.
I design spaces that are meant to be felt — environments where atmosphere isn't
accidental, it's the foundation. Hotels, retreats, wellness concepts, restaurants, and
commercial spaces where how a room feels is as deliberate as how it looks. Alongside this,
I work with private clients on homes shaped around the people living in them: their
rhythms, their light, the way they move through a day.
I came to interiors through editorial styling, trained in London alongside fashion stylists and creative directors including Cathy Kasterine and Esperanza de la Fuente. I learned how to compose a scene: how objects, texture, and space speak to each other, and how every choice shapes what a space becomes.
Each project is shaped in close collaboration with architects, designers, and creative
teams, with a single consistent vision from concept through completion. Every detail,
every material choice, every moment of atmosphere is considered with the same
intention: to create something that stays with people long after they've left the room.
"Design is how I make sense of the world and my place in it."
I work with people who believe that beauty has purpose — that a well-designed space
changes how we feel, how we connect, and how we remember. If that's what you're
building, I'd welcome the conversation.

“I've always been drawn to beauty.
The way it invites stillness,
a reminder
to slow down,
to notice,
to feel,
to exhale.”
