Tonja Hofer-Erismann​

Founder of Tonjalovesdesign Interior Studio

With a lifelong passion for design and a decade of recurring training at KLC School of Design in London, I thrive on creating spaces that are both beautiful and practical. ​

My background in consulting and innovation management ensures my ability to deliver high-visibility projects to global stakeholders. When I’m not designing, I’m traveling and delving into diverse cultures and books, which inspire my work, blending functional elegance with global influences.​
