ABOUT ME
I specialise in interiors and styling for spaces that host and welcome – boutique stays, holiday homes, vacation rentals — spaces where travel, comfort, and local identity meet.
I am a trained architect, a passionate creative, interior design enthusiast and entrepreneurial spirit with a love for exploring the world.
My passion for creating inviting and sophisticated spaces, visual narratives and travelling has led me to work on a diverse range of projects from designing furniture and products to renovations and interiors, set design and styling.
I am born and raised in Vienna, where I studied architecture at the University of Applied Arts, class of Zaha Hadid. After my studies, I moved to Copenhagen to study set design and work for architect Julien de Smedt as well as assist in various theatre and film productions.
I am the founder of kids’ brand Fabelab in Copenhagen, co-founder of kids’ conceptstore Der kleine Salon in Vienna and co-founder of design studio August Studio.
With over 20 years of experience in creative companies, I have skills in architecture, interiors, product design and production, theatre and film set design, photo styling, graphic design, entrepreneurship, storytelling and marketing.
I thrive in a multidisciplinary team with respect for each others expertise and believe in growth together.


SPACES.
Because spaces shape how we live, feel, and connect. My architectural background guides me in design, but it’s the human experience and my intuition that lets me create environments that make people feel something. I focus on crafting interiors that feel timeless and intentional—spaces with soul, personality, and purpose.
PLACES.
Travel shapes my eye more than anything else. From boutique hotels I fall in love with, the streets I wander, the landscapes I get lost in, every place I explore deepens my understanding of culture and context. I notice local details – the textures, colors, rituals, and rhythms of daily life – and translate those impressions into my interiors that feel rooted in their context and location.
STORIES.
Every space tells a story. Yours. Your guests’. The history of the place. The mood you want to create. My work focuses on capturing that narrative – translating personal experiences, local influences, and meaningful details into interior design.
As a trained architect, a passionate traveller and enthusiast of vacation rentals, I understand the importance of creating spaces that communicate a local vibe while making guests feel comfortable.
I adapt my furnishings to the existing framework and with a mix of vintage finds and contemporary design, I create a visual narrative and coziness.
Guests don’t just want a place to stay overnight, but an experience that provides them with an adventure and creates memorable moments.
