Professional Background

From design studio to independent consultant—a journey shaped by real homes and real people

My passion for interior design took shape during my studies at Vilnius Academy of Arts, where I graduated with my degree in Interior Design in 2010. But the real education came afterward—five years working with a Vilnius-based design studio taught me how to listen to clients, understand their constraints, and find solutions that actually fit their lives.

In 2015, I moved to Šiauliai and established myself as an independent consultant. That decision changed everything. Working directly with central Lithuanian families, I developed deep expertise in the specific housing styles, climate considerations, and design preferences of our region. I've learned what works in real homes—not magazine spreads.

Since joining techstands UAB, I've focused on content development and consulting. I'm constantly working with new clients, testing approaches, and refining my understanding of what makes a space feel genuinely comfortable. My work has been featured in Lithuanian home design publications, but honestly, the feedback I value most comes from clients who say their home finally feels like theirs.

"Comfort and beauty shouldn't be privileges of the wealthy. That's the belief driving everything I do professionally."

What keeps me going is straightforward: proving that thoughtful textile choices, strategic cushion placement, and intentional decor refresh can dramatically improve daily living experiences. You don't need to gut-renovate. You don't need a huge budget. You need someone who understands both design principles and real-world constraints.

Areas of Specialization

Focused expertise developed through 14 years of residential design work

Home Comfort Solutions

Strategic upgrades that transform how spaces feel—from lighting and temperature control to ergonomic furniture placement. Small changes, real impact.

Textile Styling

Choosing and layering fabrics that work together—curtains, rugs, throws, and upholstery. Understanding texture, durability, and how materials interact in real light.

Cushion Selection & Placement

More than decoration. Choosing cushions that feel good, hold up over time, and actually improve how you experience your living spaces day-to-day.

Decor Refresh

Complete refresh without complete renovation. Working with what you have, adding intentional pieces, and creating cohesive spaces that feel current and personal.

Baltic Design Context

Deep understanding of central Lithuanian housing styles, climate needs, and design preferences. Expertise built through years working with Šiauliai-region families.

Budget-Conscious Design

Finding solutions that respect both aesthetic vision and real financial constraints. Making design accessible without compromising quality or impact.

My Design Philosophy

How I work and what drives my approach to residential design

Starting With Reality

I don't work from trend reports or Instagram inspiration. I work from your actual life—your schedule, your budget, your family's needs, the way light moves through your rooms in different seasons. Design that doesn't fit reality is just decoration.

Textiles as Foundation

Most people underestimate how much textiles shape a space. The right fabrics, properly chosen and layered, can change how a room feels in ways that are almost invisible but deeply felt. That's where I focus—on materials and placement that improve comfort while looking intentional.

Small Upgrades, Real Results

You don't need to gut-renovate. Strategic small upgrades—better cushions, coordinated textiles, improved lighting, thoughtful decor additions—can transform how a space functions and feels. I'm passionate about proving this works.

Accessibility & Authenticity

Design should be accessible. Not just financially, but emotionally—spaces should feel authentic to who you are, not like you're living in someone else's vision. That authenticity is what makes a house feel like home.

"Every home tells a story. My job is to help that story become clearer, more comfortable, and more beautiful—without pretense or excess."
