She is registered interior designer in Illinois and certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Roula\u2019s voice on design has been featured in multiple international publications. Her work lives at the intersection of elegance and intention, where every detail carries meaning, and every room tells a story.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Roula\u2019s approach to design is both analytical and poetic: an inheritance from a richly interdisciplinary upbringing. Raised in a family of engineers, she was shaped by a father whose civil engineering mind was trained to analyze and synthesize to break complexity into clarity and build systems with purpose. Her mother, a psychologist and painter, offered a more intuitive lens: one attuned to emotion, color, and the unseen dimensions of space. Between them, Roula discovered a language that honors both structure and soul.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Her residential interiors are known for their quiet luxury which offer timeless, tailored, and deeply personal touches. In the commercial world, she creates spaces that hold identity and purpose in equal measure, whether designing a health clinic, a boutique, or a creative office. Across all projects, her work reflects a commitment to the balance of beauty and utility, presence and peace, and concept and craft.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To Roula, design is more than aesthetics. It is a form of empathy, connection, and an emotional bridge. It is a way of listening to how people live, work, and dream, then shaping space around those rhythms.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1459913498847{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]\n\t<!-- Element: OT Our Team --> \t \n    <!-- team member -->\n    <div class=\"de-team-list team-box wow fadeInUp\">\n    \t        <div class=\"team-desc\">\n            <h3><\/h3>\n                        <div class=\"small-border\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"social\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa fa-facebook fa-lg\"><\/i><\/a>                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter fa-lg\"><\/i><\/a>                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa fa-skype fa-lg\"><\/i><\/a>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- team close -->\n\n[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; animate=&#8221;fadeinup&#8221;]\n\t<!-- Element: OT Our Team --> \t \n    <!-- team member -->\n    <div class=\"de-team-list team-box wow fadeInUp\">\n    \t        <div class=\"team-desc\">\n            <h3><\/h3>\n                        <div class=\"small-border\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"social\">\n                                                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- team close -->\n\n[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; animate=&#8221;fadeinup&#8221;]\n\t<!-- Element: OT Our Team --> \t \n    <!-- team member -->\n    <div class=\"de-team-list team-box wow fadeInUp\">\n    \t        <div class=\"team-desc\">\n            <h3><\/h3>\n                        <div class=\"small-border\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"social\">\n                                                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- team close -->\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row archi_parallax=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1478242800309{background-image: url(http:\/\/demo.archiwp.com\/side-navigation-light\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/10\/bg-3.jpg?id=815) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column animate=&#8221;fadeinup&#8221;]\n\t<!-- Element: OT Heading --> \t \n\t<h1 class=\"ot_custom_heading  \" style=\"text-align: center;color: #ffffff;\" >Customer Says<\/h1>\t\n\t<!-- Element: OT Line solid --> \t \n\t<div class=\" separator \"><span><i class=\"fa fa-circle\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"spacer-single\"><\/div>\t      \n[\/vc_column][vc_column]\t<!-- Element: OT Testimonial Silder -->\t\n\t<div id=\"testimonial-carousel-69e74e502afb0\" class=\"de_carousel  wow fadeInUp\" data-wow-delay=\".3s\">\n\t        <div class=\"col-md-6 item\">\n            <div class=\"de_testi\">\n                <blockquote>\n                    <p>Roula used our ideas as a starting point and created something gorgeous better than we imagined.<\/p>\n                    <div class=\"de_testi_by no-margin\">\n\n                    \t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n                        \tVictoria, Customer                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/blockquote>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 item\">\n            <div class=\"de_testi\">\n                <blockquote>\n                    <p>Thank you very much Roula for bringing in all the ideas and details.
