Alina was born in a family of hereditary artists and grew up in an atmosphere of creativity and freedom. Whether at home with family, travelling, or dining with friends, Alina’s creativity is fueled by the world around her. She brings energy and worldly inspiration to every project.
Before moving to New York, Alina reached the pinnacle of the design industry in Russia, where she founded a full-service hospitality design company after serving as the Creative Director for the leading restaurant developer in Russia. Throughout her career, which also includes time as an Art Director at BBDO and MTV, Alina has worked closely with project owners, investors, and partners, including Mercedes, Nike, MasterCard, and IKEA.
Alina believes interior design should be a process that brings joy to everyone. Her projects share in our rigour to challenge the norm and to deliver something truly visionary. Ideas come from everywhere and they are best when they result from exchange and dialogue; often from people of different cultures and backgrounds.
