Albania

A base in Tirana.

I work with clients throughout Albania, primarily English-speaking expats and remote professionals who have made Tirana home, as well as short-term rental owners seeking to create memorable guest experiences.

For expats settling in

If you've moved to Tirana from the States, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, you already know the apartments here have good bones and a lot of bare beige. I turn a rental or a place you've bought into somewhere that feels like yours — warm, finished and genuinely functional — without fighting the building's character or your budget.

Short-term rentals that stay booked

For Airbnb owners and the managers who run them — in Tirana and along the coast in Vlorë, Sarandë and Durrës — the interior is the listing. I design short-term rentals to photograph well, stand out among the identical flats a guest is scrolling past, and hold up to back-to-back stays and fast turnovers. A room people remember is a room that gets booked again — and reviewed well.

Small hospitality, not chains

I also take on intimate hospitality spaces — a boutique restaurant's dining room, a small café — where how the room makes a guest feel is part of what you're selling. This is work for independent owners who want a room with real character — nothing like the template a chain rolls out from a binder.

How it works, and how travel is handled

Most of the design happens remotely — measured plans, selections and drawings over video and shared boards — anchored by on-site visits at the moments that matter: the walkthrough, key decisions and installation. I organize and pay for approved travel up front, and you reimburse it against a budget we agree in writing before anything is booked.
