I've always had an appreciation for architecture and design, but it wasn't until 2007 that I had the opportunity to follow my dream and do what I love. With background studies in Geography and Environmental Studies, I began my journey in the design industry as a Certified CAD Drafter, and in 2009 I went back to school for my degree in Interior Design. With a lifelong fascination for creating better living spaces and a passion for helping people I established "Alina Druga Interiors" in 2011 serving the San Francisco Bay Area.
My philosophy is "designing with you in mind". I believe that paying close attention to the client's requests is key in creating a successful design. As a mother of two young children I understand first hand how important it is for a home to reflect the personality and needs of the entire family. With every new project I begin by listening to the client, observing them and their environment, then envisioning how can I improve their lifestyle through my design. I always start with function and finish with aspects of the client's personality.
I love to create interiors that feel comfortable, warm yet sophisticated; interiors that will stand the test of time stylistically and functionally. Though my designs are typically contemporary, I am capable and comfortable of working in a variety of styles, guided by my client's individual tastes and needs.
Designing is what I love to do most, and helping people bring their dreams to reality is a joy!
