Francesca P.
Hospitality Interior Designer | Spatial Strategy & FF&E | Concept
Transforming spaces into experiences that feel as good as they work. I help hospitality brands, boutique developers, and conscious owners design spaces that create emotional connection, operational ease, and long-term value. With 10+ years of experience across interior design, architecture, and custom furniture, I bring a holistic and human-centered approach to every project — blending aesthetics, storytelling, and business intelligence. From my beginnings in a family-run carpentry studio in Italy to leading high-end hospitality and multifamily projects across Latin America, I’ve collaborated with global brands such as Sonder, UrbanHub, St. Regis, Hard Rock Hotels, Escapology, and Nomad Living. My design philosophy is rooted in hospitality — not just as a sector, but as a way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and at ease. I combine this with a strong operational mindset to ensure every space I design is not only beautiful, but also intuitive to use, easy to maintain, and aligned with the goals of the business. What I Offer: • Interior & Experience Design — thoughtful, brand-aligned concepts for hotels, retreats, cafés, co-living and amenity spaces • Sensory & Emotional Design — spaces that speak to the five senses and evoke memory, comfort, and connection • Space Planning & Circulation — intuitive layouts that enhance both guest flow and team operation • Hospitality Strategy — from brand storytelling to moodboarding, rituals, and operational touches • Custom Furniture & Details — unique, timeless pieces designed to elevate the identity of each space How I Work: • Guest-focused, but also operator-minded — I care about how spaces are experienced and how they perform behind the scenes; • Emotionally intelligent — I believe the best spaces are not just designed, but felt; • Cross-disciplinary — from concept to construction, I bring together design, operations, and user experience; • Scalable and flexible — from boutique hotels to personal studios, I adapt the process to fit your reality; • Conscious and timeless — always designing with intention, clarity, and longevity in mind. If you believe design should create connection, delight the senses, and support the people who live and work in the space — let’s talk. Let’s create something extraordinary.
