About Me

Anastasia Aurora Chalofti Tzouma

Hello, I'm Aurora!

I'm an architecture graduate from the Architectural Association in London, working across spatial and architectural design with a particular interest in experiential design, scenography, luxury retail and brand environments.

I'm drawn to design that creates a feeling as much as a space, where architecture, aesthetics, storytelling and detail come together to shape an experience. I'm passionate about luxury, fashion, art and visual culture, and I enjoy exploring how these worlds can meet through space.

Alongside my architectural studies, I've obtained the Inside LVMH Certificate, a Certificate in Luxury Event Management from the Event School London and a Photography, Architectural and Exhibition Design Certificate from the AA, further developing my interest in the worlds of luxury, events, brand experiences and photography.

I like working across different mediums, from drawing and photography to models, graphic design and printed matter. I'm naturally curious and enjoy collaborating with other creatives, learning from different perspectives and exploring new ways of making and communicating ideas.

For me, the most exciting projects sit somewhere between disciplines  and I'm always looking for opportunities to experiment, learn and create something that feels considered, unexpected and memorable.
