JUNIOR INTERIOR DESIGNER
KIARA LOOK
Kiara recently graduated from the Residential Interiors program at British Columbia Institute of Technology, where she built a strong foundation in residential design and discovered how to translate ideas into thoughtful, livable spaces. Her interest in design began early on, driven by a constant desire to redecorate and reimagine her own room growing up. That early curiosity was later reinforced by watching HGTV, which solidified her goal of pursuing interior design as a career. She was drawn to the way design could transform everyday environments and create a sense of personal identity within a space.
Shortly before graduating, Kiara joined Bova Interiors as an intern in January before stepping into her role as a Junior Designer. She brings a fresh perspective, strong attention to detail, and a thoughtful, client-focused approach to her work. Kiara values clear communication and believes the best design outcomes come from understanding people on a deeper level and translating their needs into functional, beautiful spaces. Her communication style is calm, approachable, and collaborative, helping clients feel comfortable and involved throughout the design process. She is excited to continue growing in the industry while contributing creativity, organization, and meaningful design solutions to every project she takes on.
