Claudia Pakes

A creative and artistic person by nature, Claudia’s interest in design and aesthetics began as a child growing up in a family where creativity thrived. Her skills for garment construction, elaborate cake decorating, building and refinishing furniture, DIY home projects, event and interior design have all developed in the past 20 years as a result of her curiosity and love for working with her hands. Professionally educated in the real estate field, she decided to switch gears and pursue her passion by obtaining a degree in Interior Design and Art History. By merging the two fields she is able to conceptualize exciting spaces that combine classic with chic to create a space that is the perfect reflection of her client’s personality.
