About
I’m Alena, co-founder, an interior designer who studied design at university and has been working in the field ever since. With years of hands-on experience in both residential and commercial projects, I handle every stage of the process — from space planning and finding the right style to overseeing construction and final implementation.
Three years ago, I moved to Portugal myself. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to settle into a new country — the language barrier, the unfamiliar systems and services, not knowing where to buy what you need. That’s why many of my clients are also expats. I understand how important it is to feel truly at home, and I design with that in mind
My approach to design is functional and space-oriented — I focus on shaping the space itself, not just decorating it. With a strong background in construction and finishing techniques, I offer practical, creative solutions that work in real life, even for complex spaces or limited budgets.
If you're looking for a designer who will be with you every step of the way—from concept to completion—and help you create a home where you truly feel comfortable and ‘at home’ in a new country, I'm here to help.
