Lina holds a Bachelor of Science from Yale University in addition to a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University, and studied Interior Design at Fashion Institute of Technology. Prior to becoming a designer, Lina was a business consultant for healthcare organizations for ten years, with an interest in how environments can promote patients’ wellbeing. Lina has enjoyed working on projects ranging from New York City apartments to full home renovations. She loves integrating solutions that promote child development in her designs for families.

She misses living in Brooklyn, but is now living her best life by the beach in Fairfield County, CT, with her husband and two kids. Favorite things: strong coffee; a carb heavy diet; meditation; a chill day in the park; having a cool book collection; museums; a nap in a proper Brazilian hammock; anything mid-century modern; pop art; Rome, Italy.
