Hi, I’m Karina — Founder and Principal Designer of Portfolio Interiors. My background spans interior design, boutique real estate marketing, and public health, which means I’m equally obsessed with beautiful spaces, human behavior, and the psychology behind why some rooms make us instantly exhale while others leave us unsettled. I founded my studio in Charleston, SC, after years of studying how buyers and renters interact with properties — where they linger, what draws their attention, and what drives them to commit.

I’m driven by the why of design — how wellness, emotion, and environment shape the way we live — and I focus on creating spaces that deliver measurable results.

Because when you design with psychology and comfort at the center, everything changes.

Welcome in. Get cozy. You’re in the right place.
