DESIGNER IN PROFILE: TATIANA SHEVELEVA, CO-CEO AND PARTNER OF CHAPI CHAPO DESIGN INC.

How would you describe your personal interior design style?
I do not believe in personal interior design style. For me Interior design style should be more about timeless comfort than trend, cultivating a unique style that was adopted from brand, location and culture to become charismatic and confident beauty.

Where does your design inspiration come from?
I think the verb “to design” expresses the process of hard work, an inspirational journey and often an emotionally wrenching story. Sometimes music makes me want to dance, and sometimes it makes me want to create. Albert Einstein told once: “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”
