HELLO! I AM AIDA LORA.

Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about art, design, sustainability and architecture. I earned a bachelor’s in architecture from Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra in the Dominican Republic, and in 2013, I moved to Miami to pursue a Master’s in Interior Architecture with a Certificate in Yacht and Cruise Ship Design from FIU. Also, I obtained the LEED Green Associate in 2015.

I’ve worked with several architectural and interior design firms on major commercial, hospitality and luxury residential projects. Projects for renown brand such as Hilton Hotels, IHG, Shell Oil HQ, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, TUI Cruises and Baha Mar. With over 12 years of experience in hospitality, cruise ship interiors, corporate environments, and large-scale projects. I would guarantee goal oriented Interior design and architecture project deliveries.

In 2017, I began connecting with the interior design community, joining the IIDA Miami Chapter and teaching at the Miami International School of Art and Design. Teaching enhanced my mentorship and consultancy skills, and in 2018, I earned my NCIDQ certification, becoming a Registered Interior Designer in Florida. In 2020 I was awarded an IIDA Bragg award for “Star of the Year” for advocacy efforts. I have participated in the CSI Cruise Ship interiors as Influencer and future leaders 2022 and 2023 program. I served in the SDS Sustainable Design Summit advisory board 2022 and 2023 and in the FIU School of Architecture and Arts advisory board 2020-2024. Design has become a passion and crafting unique spaces a goal when development a project. When I finished a project, I am committed to deliver a space that functions beatifically. The moment when I see the client’s vision through my design expertise come to a reality, is the moment that fuels my passion for design.
