THE DESIGNER
Hi there, I'm Octavia.
I’m native to the islands but have spent the past few years living and working across Asia. From partnering with local schools on Eleuthera to collaborating with boutique hotels and cafés across the region, I’ve always been drawn to spaces that feel alive — places that hold stories waiting to be told.
My biggest takeaway from those years abroad? When design is intentional and supported by meaningful guest experiences, a space becomes far more than a location — it transforms into a feeling, a memory, an experience that lingers. That realization shaped my approach to design and inspired me to work with thoughtful, story-rich spaces to craft visual identities that feel authentic, cohesive, and deeply personal — identities that honor the stories only they can tell.
THE WORK
Uncovering the spirit of a brand.
Every project begins with listening — the history, energy, and intention behind a space and the people who brought it to life. From there, I collaborate closely with each partner to translate that essence into design choices that feel true to their story. The goal is always the same: to craft a visual identity represents the purpose of the space and enhances how guests experience it, deepening their sense of connection and belonging.
​
With this goal in mind, every detail contributes to the overall narrative: a printed welcome guide highlighting local favorites, curated in-room treats, or a bespoke cocktail menu leading a guest to their final sunset drink. Each touchpoint deepens the connection, creating an experience that’s seen, felt, and remembered.
THE STUDIO
Coming home.
After years of living and working across Asia, the studio was born from a longing to reconnect with home — and to celebrate the extraordinary spaces being created there. Spaces that, much like the ones I encountered abroad, are rich with character, story, and intention.
​
​The studio exists to honor beautiful spaces through consistent, meaningful storytelling. Every project begins with the essence of a place — harmonizing its story and shaping how guests experience it. Spaces are never just rooms or walls; they hold energy, memory, and meaning. The only thing separating them from the people who long to experience them is connection — and through thoughtful design and narrative, that connection is realized, allowing the spirit of the space to live far beyond its walls.
