FOUNDER OF STUDIO LEPŌS:
I’m a Los Angeles–based interior designer with a professional foundation in brand and digital marketing, bringing nearly a decade of experience across hospitality, CPG, and luxury consumer businesses. Prior to pursuing formal design training, I led brand and creative initiatives for multi-location restaurant groups and national retail brands, shaping positioning, messaging, customer experience strategy, and large-scale campaign production.

Reporting directly to executive leadership and presenting to CEOs, CFOs, boards and investors, I developed a strong understanding of business context, financial performance, and the importance of aligning creative vision with operational and bottom-line realities. I am experienced in translating complex ideas into clear narratives, building consensus across teams, and moving projects from concept through execution under real deadlines.

That foundation informs my approach to interior design. I view space as an experience shaped by audience, flow, atmosphere, and long-term brand equity. My interest lies in immersive, hospitality-driven environments that are both emotionally resonant and strategically grounded.

Through my design studies at UCLA, I’ve has built a solid technical base and continue to deepen my skills within professional studio settings. I bring discipline, organization, and initiative to every team I join, along with the maturity to contribute meaningfully while learning rigorously. My goal is to grow within a thoughtful design practice, combining hard work and humility with a strategic lens that adds value beyond aesthetics alone.
