OUR TEAM
-
Gabriela is a self-taught interior designer who founded GRISORO Studio after a career in finance. Often described as equally left- and right-brained, she blends a deep passion for art and design with a strong focus on process and execution. Gabriela grew up immersed in the creative arts, an interest that deepened during her studies in the History of Art and Architecture at Brown University. Her endless curiosity has led her to learn empirically about construction, furniture design, restoration, and textiles. She strives to share this passion with clients through active collaboration, discovery, and a truly bespoke design experience.
Finding joy in discovery, invention, and education, Gabriela’s approach is rooted in emotion and the belief that good design can improve lives. Each project aims to create spaces that evoke feeling, enhance daily life, and evolve with its inhabitants. Shying away from creating a momentary sense of perfection, Gabriela focuses on creating a place that is authentic, collected and inspirational.
