Hello & welcome!! I am Vinanti, Co-founder at NATIV in. I am a placemaker, a storyteller, a dreamer, an interior designer who loves creating places that are full of stories and meaning.

 

What I love about design is the one-on-one with people, not just my clients but also the craftsmen – contractors, painters, tile installers, cabinet makers, weavers, product reps – yes, the whole entourage! I enjoy the hands on approach of interior design, handling materials and engaging with the different trades related to the design industry, solving problems on-site, being in the middle of the action. While this involves many challenges, I absolutely couldn’t do without it.

 

I drive inspiration from people and places. Both have stories to tell. And each story is unique. This challenges me to always stay fresh as a designer and gives me satisfaction in my work.

 

I am an NCIDQ certified Interior Designer. I have been practicing interior design for over a decade, but honestly, design is a way of life for me! Come join the ride with me.

OUR CLIENTS

LUXURY RESIDENTIAL | HOMEOWNER

BOUTIQUE COMMERCIAL | ENTERPRENEUR

CUSTOM HOME | BUILDER

Our clients are design savvy and motivated by creativity. They stand boldly in their own space and refuse to blend-into the crowd. They have a deep awareness of how they move in their space. They understand that good design serves a purpose and is not a mere replication of something beautiful they saw.

They dream of places that are not only show stoppers, but also a genuine reflection of who they are. These places also solve their day to day problems and enhance the way they live.

They are busy professionals who value their time, and trust us to create custom built environments that they can call their place.....

OUR CLIENTS

Vinanti transformed our dining and living areas into an eclectic abode where we love to spend time and entertain our loved ones. She proposed a giant wall mirror surrounded by custom built-ins to open up the dining space, and incorporated round dining and breakfast tables that is really doing justice to the space we have and maintaining continuum.

 

She not only added architectural details by incorporating custom cabinetry in both rooms, but also redesigned our fireplace with the right proportions in mind, and custom made concrete tile.

 

She then continued to amaze us with the furnishings that she selected to fill the space.

 

Our project is the perfect representation of Vinanti's design capabilities. Each and every corner has her personal touch and design that incorporates our style, both mine and my wife's, which is not easy to pull. She made us feel supported through every step of the process, which was lengthy, but so worth it! Our home would not have turned out so incredible without trusting her creative instincts, and taking risks in the space. A massive thank you to Vinanti for this amazing place. We are working with her on our next project and highly recommend her.

We used Hues and Scapes for our kitchen remodel, and we could not be happier with the result! Vinanti is not your typical designer — she has an incredible ability to think outside the box and create spaces that feel truly original, personal, and one-of-a-kind. From the very first meeting, she took the time to understand our style, presented thoughtful options, and seamlessly incorporated our feedback to craft a design that went far beyond what we imagined. 

 

One of Vinanti’s standout talents is her exceptional eye for color. She knows exactly how to use color in a way that feels both bold and sophisticated — creating a space that’s vibrant, cohesive, and full of personality without ever feeling overdone. She’s meticulous with details, incredibly responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. On top of that, she’s an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about her craft. If you want a space that’s not just beautiful but uniquely you — something fresh, inspired, and full of character — Vinanti is the designer to go to.

Amir & Mel

Vinanti was a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to help us create a beautiful piano room for our home. She took a plain room and created a masterpiece. My favorite element in the room is a focal wall that she designed to showcase our piano. The wall has dimension, elegance, and is a true piece of art in itself. Our girls enjoy practicing their piano skills in this room and our guests enjoy the welcoming ambiance of the space.

 

Vinanti is knowledgeable of the different styles and was able to provide us with excellent ideas to choose from. She created several digital models of the room and was always eager to answer our questions. Once we ordered furniture, she made sure everything went smoothly during each step of the process, and helped the deliveries, damages, returns and replacements run smoothly. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.

Angela

Vinanti was excellent to work with for our flooring remodeling! She took her time to show us multiple options and came with us to several stores. She visited our house several times to look at samples in different lighting conditions. Very knowledgeable of timeless designs vs fleeting fads. She is very open minded about including components important to us. We will love to work with her again.

Joe

We turned to Hues & Scapes Interior Design for help redoing our flooring and kitchen, and working with Vinanti was an absolute pleasure. Her expertise in design, attention to detail, and creativity resulted in a kitchen that we absolutely love. Not only is it beautiful, but it has also become a much more functional space that we enjoy cooking in every day. The hardwood floors turned out really well and perfectly complement the rest of the design. Vinanti truly transformed our home, and we highly recommend her and Hues & Scapes Interior Design!

Charlie & Nirali

I am a painter & general contractor and have worked with Vinanti on many projects. He eye for color is unmatched and she really understands the science of color. She has great people skills and is wonderful to work with. She is a graphic designer and helped me create a logo for my business. Her work is excellent. She creates detailed drawings for mill work projects and makes it easier for us to execute projects. I highly recommend working with her for any interior and graphic design projects.

A FOUNDATION OF MODERNISM

At NATIVin, modernism is the foundation that we build upon.

 

It’s not a style we impose — it’s just the starting point.

 

Why modernism?

 

Modernism asked one radical question:

What if buildings and homes were shaped by how people truly live — not how tradition tells them they should?

This question still is, and will forever be, relevant and that’s why we use modernism as our foundation.

 

Modern design is not “what’s new.”

It is a philosophy born from social change, rooted in the belief that good design is not about ornamentation or tradition. It is:

  • honest

  • functional

  • accessible

  • and connected to real life

 

The principles of modernism listed below allow for purposeful design freedom and a clean base for layering more personal and cultural nuances creating tailored environments that support the rhythms of your life:

  • Clarity of Structure

  • Spatial Continuity

  • Reduction of Visual Noise

  • Honest Material Hierarchy

  • Light as Architecture

  • Proportional Discipline

  • Functional Zoning

  • Integrated Storage

  • Material Warmth Without Ornament

  • Purposeful Restraint

READY TO START?

We begin by understanding you—your needs, personality, and rhythm—then translate that into design with a unique architectural DNA that fits both you and the space.

Life unfolds in places.

Not just one, but so many—

places of living, places of working and places we want to experience

 

But home is the place that touches us like no other—

a place that holds us,

a place where work gets done between moments of life

a place that holds your secrets and your memories

 

Our home is a mirror

one that reflects who we are in relation to others

as parents nurturing the family

as siblings in fits of laughter

as grandparents hosting sleepy little guests

as hosts enjoying a dance party with their best friends

 

With music floating through a kitchen

where meals are made with love

where your desk holds a wish that travels so far

where your adventures & thrills dwell

 

NATIVin isn’t just about home.....

we make places that stir something deep

the hum of a workspace alive with purpose

the scent of coffee in a sunlit café,

the hush of a spa that invites exhale,

the quiet of a library where light and shadow play their tender role,

the texture and storytelling of a boutique store.....

 

When a space is designed with intention,

it becomes a PLACE....

a place that nestles you

and echoes the rhythms of your life,

and quietly becomes part of who you are.
