For building owners, developers, tenants, and business owners, who need to make your space work for you and understand the value of your vision, I specialize in creating hospitality, multifamily, retail, and commercial interiors that reflect your needs and inspirations, optimizing spaces for maximum return of investment.My background as a Bulgarian-born, U.S.-educated interior designer brings a unique perspective to each project. Having been raised by parents with professions in the hospitality service industry, in a historic town and sought-out by multinational tourists, this journey began when I moved to the United States to pursue higher education, armed with nothing but a suitcase full of dreams and sketchpad brimming with ideas. At Maryville University in St. Louis, I honed my craft, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design. But my real education came from the 25 years I've spent creating spaces and touching lives through design with a hospitality-centric approach and empathy, including transformative historic adaptive reuse.My career has been a tapestry of diverse experiences, each thread contributing to the designer I am today:• I've lead design practices and market-focused teams at renowned firms like Lawrence Group, Forrest Perkins, Trivers, Oculus, Architextures SP.• My work has been recognized by Boutique Design magazine with the Boutique 18 award and by the St. Louis Business Journal with the 40 Under 40 recognition.• I've earned my NCIDQ certification and registration as an Interior Designer in Texas, testament to my commitment and excellence.• Starting my own interior design practice, DG7 Design, a 100% woman-owned business.What sets DG7 Design apart:• Boutique Service: Experience personalized attention and direct collaboration with a dedicated designer.• Proven Expertise: Benefit from our extensive experience and award-winning track record in commercial interior design.• Client Advocacy: We are your trusted partner, dedicated to guiding you towards optimal design solutions.• Streamlined Communication: Enjoy clear and direct communication without the complexities of large teams.• Tenacious Execution: Count on our dedication and problem-solving skills to deliver exceptional results.When I’m not transforming spaces, you might find me cooking, assembling jigsaw puzzles, antique-shopping, reading about astronomy, or hanging out with my partner George and cat Evy.
