Architectural Assistant

BA (Hons) Interior Architecture

 

Elena recently joined Riva Architects after completing her degree in Interior Architecture at Oxford Brookes, where she received various awards including the National Interior Educators award for Climate Emergency & Sustainability.

 

She brings with her previous experience of working in soft landscaping, with hands on and office-based experience, as well working in many administration and marketing roles previously. She is particularly interested in spatial and landscape design, in particular planting, as well as sustainable building and materials.

 

Having watched her parents lovingly restore and renovate their traditional Jersey farmhouse whilst growing up, Elena is now excited to develop her own architectural and design skills with Riva.

 

Outside of work, Elena enjoys doing her own design and DIY projects at home, fitting out her campervan, or enjoying the beautiful Jersey cliff paths and beaches with her dog.
