Ina Damyanova is an interior designer from Bulgaria with a background in visual arts and product design. Her work focuses on creating warm and creative spaces that help people feel at home and connected to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Congratulations on winning the MUSE Design Awards! Can you introduce yourself and share about what inspired you to pursue design as a career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Ina Damyanova, and I\u2019m an interior designer from Bulgaria. As a visual artist, aesthetics and harmony have always been an integral part of who I am. Over the years, I\u2019ve explored various creative fields, including product design, so transitioning into interior design was a natural extension of my artistic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My vision is to create inspiring spaces that radiate warmth, creativity, and individuality \u2014 environments that make you feel at home with yourself and connect you with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What does being recognized in the MUSE Design Awards mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the most significant recognition of my career so far as an interior designer. Winning a gold plaque at this competition is a tremendous honour, especially as Italy is considered the cradle of interior design worldwide. That\u2019s what makes this award so meaningful to me \u2014 it adds real value to my work, fuels my creative energy, and motivates me to grow even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. How has this achievement impacted your career, team, or agency, and what opportunities has it brought so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

=I believe the full impact of this recognition is still unfolding. However, my team has been incredibly inspired and motivated by this success. Having our work recognised on an international stage \u2014 evaluated by a highly professional jury and compared with strong global projects \u2014 has given us a renewed sense of direction and purpose. It marks a new chapter in our creative development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What role does experimentation play in your creative process? Can you share an example?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As both an artist and a designer, I believe that true creativity begins with the ability to surprise yourself \u2014 and then others. Experimentation is essential in my work; it brings freshness, innovation, and authenticity to every project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m particularly fascinated by mixing new textures and materials, combining them in unexpected ways, and integrating artistic elements like murals, installations, or sculptural accents into my interiors. For me, blending one art form into another is not only a technique \u2014 it\u2019s a philosophy and a personal mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What’s the most unusual source of inspiration you’ve ever drawn from for a project?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love browsing antique stores and flea markets \u2014 finding forgotten objects and giving them a second life, transforming what others see as waste into pieces of art. I\u2019m also, somewhat strangely, inspired by hardware stores, where I wander around observing different shapes and materials. But my ultimate source of inspiration has always been nature. It constantly recharges me with ideas, textures, and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
