I'm Carmen



I guide Interior Designers ready to transition from traditional roles to building lifestyle-first solo practices. The goal is simple: Work on projects that celebrate your talent, ensure you earn what you're truly worth, and deliver the freedom you deserve.

As the founder of the award-winning boutique firm, esQape design, which I led for over 24 years, I learned that true growth is collaborative. Many of my best lessons came from conversations with the talented designers on my team.

I believe the most fulfilling work happens when you design with authenticity. It's about letting your unique style guide you. To succeed in today's world, you need to turn your expertise and interests into a clear, recognizable professional identity—a brand that answers who you are, what you do, and the value you deliver.

When you build a strong reputation, the game changes. Doors open to unexpected opportunities, exclusive networks, and collaborations that previously felt out of reach. That reputation is the key to designing your own future.
