Greta Shambeau

Interior Architecture & Design

Growing up in a generational aviation family, many would expect that my path would naturally lead me to becoming a pilot. While aviation has always been a part of my life, what it gave me was something different, a broader perspective that continues to shape how I approach design today. Aviation exposed me to the beauty of movement, connection, and the way people interact with space across different cultures and environments. Traveling from one place to another taught me that every destination holds its own rhythm, identity, and emotional atmosphere. More importantly, it revealed how the built environment influences how people feel, gather, and remember moments.

Through these experiences, I realized that my passion lies not in flying planes but in designing spaces that allow people to feel grounded, inspired, and connected. I’ve learned to see design as a form of storytelling, each material, light, and texture contributing to a larger narrative about human experience. As a designer, I focus deeply on how spaces serve others: how they function, how they make people feel, and the memories they hold long after someone leaves.

For me, design is ultimately about impact, creating environments that not only meet practical needs but also evoke emotion and meaning. I want the spaces I create to resonate with people on a personal level, shaping how they experience comfort, community, and discovery. My background in aviation has taught me that while destinations may change, the feeling of belonging and connection should always remain constant. That is the sense I strive to capture in every design I create.
