Shiva Etemad

“I’d like to think of my designs as bespoke solutions to my client’s needs,” Shiva says. “Every new project is an opportunity to challenge myself and to create the most functional and aesthetically pleasing space that would exceed my client’s expectations.”

A design professional for more than 12 years, Shiva has also lived abroad, which allows her to bring a diverse perspective to her work in the Northwest. “Traveling and living in many different countries has given me the opportunity to see and experience many different interiors and lifestyles. It has also taught me to be compassionate and considerate of everyone’s needs, ideas and uniqueness.”

Shiva finds her inspiration from the natural environment, her travels and her clients. “My favorite project is always the one that I am working on,” she says. “I love working with bold colors, patterns, scale and proportion.” 

When she’s not involved with a project, Shiva loves reading about global design and architecture. A lifelong student, she hopes to earn her master’s in Interior Design in the near future.
