about me

                                                                          




My name is Anxhela, and I am an Interior Design graduate from the Chelsea College of Arts based in London. Over the years, I have worked alongside my studies, building
strong independence and a sense of responsibility. This experience has shaped my adaptability and deepened my commitment to growth. My approach to interior design
focuses on how people feel and interact within a space. I believe it is important to create environments that tell a story and offer a meaningful experience to those who inhabit
or visit them. Spaces have the power to evoke emotion, shape memories, and spark imagination. I enjoy designing environments that are not only functional, but also emotionally
engaging—spaces that feel unique, luxurious, and playful. I enjoy experimenting with new ideas and refining existing ones, always maintaining a sense of curiosity. I am also
inspired by past design references and enjoy reinterpreting them in a way that responds to today’s needs and expectations.

Work experience:


Working within the Maybourne Group, has given me a deep understanding of how atmosphere is crafted at the highest level. Being immersed in these environments taught me how lighting, comfort, flow, and material quality shape the guest experience, as well as how to interact with guests and understand their needs intuitively. This ability to read people and anticipate how they move through a space directly informs my design approach.

At Mariage Frères, the iconic Parisian tea house and luxury retailer, I refined my sensitivity to colour, texture, and brand storytelling. Maintaining the visual identity of such a heritage brand, while working with an international clientele, strengthened both my aesthetic judgment and my customer-facing skills, showing me how detail and presentation influence mood and behaviour. I contributed to maintaining the visual identity of a globally recognised luxury brand, from product styling to supporting photography that captured the brand’s refined atmosphere.

Alongside this, I have been active within the design community, helping install the Interior Design Degree Show, offering feedback to first-year students, and collaborating on an international project with design students from Estonia. These experiences deepened my ability to communicate ideas clearly and work creatively within a team.

Together, these roles have shaped my understanding of luxury not only as an aesthetic, but as an experience. I bring intuition, sensitivity, and a strong awareness of how people read and respond to space, qualities I am excited to bring into a design-focused studio.

  • Autocad
  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator 
  • Indesign
  • Premiere Pro
  • Lightroom
