Sandra Mirka

Interior Architect



based in Helsinki / from Tallinn

Hello there, 

and welcome to the site! Along the path of studying, working, and meeting like-minded companions, I’ve been fortunate enough to explore different mediums of creativity. Starting from the art of theatre and movement to continuing the art of cooking. While searching for myself, I decided to study interior architecture in 2016, not because I like pretty things, but because of the freedom behind learning by doing (read: failing and trying again).  Along with studying and practising, I have found my place in working with spaces and furniture to better understand its user.

There is a certain sensitivity I'd love to possess; when beauty in detail and playfulness of colour is established by the clarity of function.
