Her education as an architect has provided her with an excellent set of design skills, both in terms of concept and development. She has a solid understanding of space, materials, colors, composition, and most importantly each location's own spirit, and uses this understanding to create a perfectly bespoke project for each client. Empathy to understand client needs and desires is also one of her strong suits.

Having worked as an executive project manager, she has coordinated large teams of people and has dealt with clients, suppliers, deadlines and budgets, managing each of these aspects to provide a fluent development of each project.

As a designer, she can communicate her vision both manually and digitally. She can sketch, watercolor, Cad draft (2d and 3d) , and can create layouts and presentations. She’s also a keen photographer.

She is fluent in Spanish (native), English, well spoken in Italian and has a tolerable level in spoken French.

Marta is 32, lives in Madrid, Spain and is willing to move (almost) anywhere in the world.

For this Mediterranean wedding we chose to play with textures and

materials, and mantain the color palette fairly simple, concentrating also on the use of different herbs .

Another important aspect was the transition from daylight to night, the white and green color

palette provided the perfect background to enhance the light of candles and small lights hidden in the garden, and hung from the dinning room

ceiling

“The couple’s love for travel and their following two year round-the-world honeymoon was the main inspiration behind this set up. From India, America, Morocco, Japan, to China and Europe, all

elements were mixed to reflect on the couple’s personality and spirit.”

“The ceremony location and orientation was chosen to profit from the best light possible, also

taking into account the ideal setting”

Using the groom’s parent backyard, the wedding was

planned using the garden’s holm oaks as focal points. The couple wanted to have relaxations spots

for their guests, so in keeping with the intimate feel of the wedding,

we tried to create these spots guarding them with the trees

S&MSegovia 2011

Located in a hidden, private owned, cister

monastery, this wedding was as much a result of the place it was held in,

as a reflection of the bride’s character, who

wanted a rustic, charming, romantic

event. click here for more pictures

Tough held in the morning, the church was filled with candles that created an atmosphere of warmth

and intimacy in the empty knave.

“Surrounded by fields of barley and wheat, in late September, the venue was chosen by its

magical light and tranquility. The bride and groom wanted to feel at home as much as

possible so most of the props used were the family’s own heirlooms.”

This wedding was planned as well as designed and managed, all vendors were chosen for their

ability to match with the bride’s vision. She wanted a homely look, with pink and mauve

tones.

Inspired by this trip to Belgium, where Easter traditions differ a lot from spanish ones, we set

up two different scenes

Christmas Brunch

In this photo shoot one idea was clear: to avoid using the classic red and green scheme, but instead, to mix soft colors and rough

materials.
