Creative Director & Founder

Gabriela is driven by a passion for fostering meaningful connections through thoughtful, eco-conscious, and socially impactful design.

With a background as a sustainability consultant and an MFA in Industrial Design from Parsons, Gabriela explores the intersection of material innovation, emotional resonance, and functional aesthetics. From crafting bio-based objects to designing spaces that celebrate spontaneity and vulnerability, her work transforms everyday experiences into moments of connection and belonging.

A foodie, an eternally curious mind, and a sensitive soul, Gabriela finds inspiration in the details—whether in the textures of a handcrafted object, the ritual of a shared meal, or the quiet beauty of everyday moments.

Our Story

We believe thoughtful design has the power to transform. Shaped by my international background—born in Miami, raised in Chile, and now based in NYC—I bring a global perspective to my work, blending diverse influences with a deep commitment to sustainability, human-centered thinking, and material innovation.

From concept to completion, I prioritize deep listening and collaboration, ensuring each design resonates with its purpose and the people it serves. My approach balances research, intuition, and experimentation—bridging craftsmanship with impact to create objects and experiences that foster connection, inspire change, and shape a more conscious world.
