About Mika:

Hi! I'm Mika, a wife, mother, and award-winning interior designer with a lifelong passion for understanding how our surroundings influence the way we live, feel, and experience everyday life. Growing up in a creative household and watching my mother work as an interior designer, I learned early on that thoughtful design is about more than aesthetics. It has the power to improve daily routines, create comfort, and transform the way we experience home.

My approach combines creative vision with a background in psychology, communication, and project management. I earned a B.A. in Social Studies with a focus on psychology and mass communication, which continues to influence how I understand my clients and design spaces that support their needs and lifestyles. Before pursuing interior design, I built my career in advertising as an Account Executive at Saatchi & Saatchi in Tel Aviv, managing complex projects, budgets, and client relationships. That experience shaped my organized, detail-oriented approach and allows me to guide clients through every stage of the design process with clarity and confidence.

Driven by my passion for interiors, I graduated with highest honors from Chicago's Harrington College of Design in 2009. Today, I combine creativity, strategy, and technical expertise to create warm, timeless homes that are both beautiful and highly functional. My greatest joy is seeing clients walk into a space that feels unmistakably theirs, a home thoughtfully designed to support the way they live every day.
