HELLO!Is It Me You're Looking For?My name is Sonja Dutra and helping businesses succeed through clever design is what really excites me about my career. As an experienced designer I know what works, but I’m also not afraid to push the envelope.There are two contradicting statements that are the foundation for much of my work: “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” “If you want something you’ve never had,then do something you’ve never done.” I have always been intrigued and challenged by the many hats I wear as an interior designer. It is finding the perfect balance of creativity and feasibility, while being forced to think, inside the box. I am a teacher and a student, a coordinator and an improviser, a creator and an implementer.But mostly I do the best job of just being me. If you want someone who is easy to work with, passionate about helping youachieve your project goals and having a great time while doing it, I’m your girl. Known for my professional, yet lighthearted and vibrant approach to design, I have established a strong portfolio that includes diverse retail spaces, large scale office designs, high-end residential as well as restaurants and fitness studios. My experience includes over a decade working with a large international firm as well as independently contracting with developers and small business owners. ​My philosophy is simple.​Create functional, fun and innovative spacesthat improve the way you do business.​“If it looks great but doesn’t function well, I still haven’t done my job” - Sonja Dutra
