About

Hi, I’m Paleny and I am so excited you have landed on my design page! I graduated from UCLA in 2009 with a Bachelors in Communication Studies, and in 2015 from CSUN with a Masters in Software Engineering, after which I worked as a Business Systems analyst until 2023.

I have always had a creative side, which I have been able to express through dance, theater, fashion, and travel. My passion in interiors was realized soon after purchasing and remodeling my house back in 2017. The process took about six months and since moving in, friends and family started approaching me for consultations in design decisions for their own homes. Soon after starting an interiors account on Instagram, to market my services, my home was scouted by a writer from Design*Sponge, who published a feature article.

Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with amazing clients both inside and outside my community. I offer services from hourly consultations to full design renderings and styling services.
