Carolina Papale- Designer
We’re excited to welcome Carolina to our team! With a background in architecture and a passion for interior design, Carolina brings a unique perspective to our projects. Her journey into interior design began unexpectedly during an internship, but it quickly became clear that crafting interior spaces was more than just an assignment—it was a calling.
For Carolina, interior design is about creating experiences that leave a lasting impact. '“It’s about crafting environments that evoke emotion, tell a story, and shape how people interact with their surroundings,” she said. She thrives on the balance between creativity and function, ensuring that every design choice not only looks beautiful but also feels meaningful.
One of Carolina’s most memorable projects was converting over a dozen camper-vans into livable spaces in New Zealand. Taking an empty shell and transforming it into a cozy, functional home on wheels—handling everything from design to carpentry—was an incredibly rewarding challenge. Living in one of the vans while traveling the country provided firsthand insight into how thoughtful design enhances everyday life.
When it comes to design style, Carolina describes her approach in three words: natural, textural, and colorful. She loves incorporating organic materials like warm wood, textured stone, green walls, and woven details—elements that bring a sense of grounding and warmth to a space. “I love materials that reconnect people with nature,” she shares. “Those details create an environment that feels inviting, balanced, and full of life.”
Beyond design, Carolina finds inspiration in nature, often turning to the outdoors for a creative reset. Time spent living and traveling across both islands of New Zealand, as well as studying yoga in India, has deeply influenced her perspective on design and life. These experiences have reinforced her belief that thoughtful, harmonious design can shape the way we live and feel in a space.
We're excited to welcome Carolina to the team and look forward to the creativity and expertise she’ll bring to our projects!
