Meet Alina Druga
Hi, I’m Alina, founder and principal designer of Alina Druga Interiors, an award-winning residential interior design studio based in Castro Valley and serving homeowners throughout the East Bay.
Since 2011, I’ve helped homeowners transform kitchens, bathrooms, entire homes, and new construction projects into spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional. With a background in drafting, formal interior design education, and more than 15 years of experience, I bring a unique combination of creative vision and technical expertise to every project.
I understand that a home renovation is more than a design project—it’s a major investment, a significant disruption to daily life, and often a dream years in the making. My role is to simplify complex decisions, anticipate challenges before they become problems, and guide clients confidently through every stage of the process.
As a homeowner and mother of two, I know firsthand that great design must do more than look beautiful. It needs to support the way people actually live. That’s why I take the time to understand each client’s priorities, routines, and goals, creating spaces that feel personal, timeless, and tailored to their lifestyle.
I work closely with homeowners, architects, builders, and contractors to ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered and every project moves smoothly from concept through construction. Whether you’re remodeling a single room or undertaking a whole-home renovation, my goal is to create a home you’ll love living in for years to come.
