🔐 About the event:

A deep dive into the intersection of design, execution, and entrepreneurship.
Geya Antonova creates interior concepts with strong identity and turns them into fully functional, real-life spaces through clarity, sustainability, and attention to detail.

As the founder of COZY. Design Studio, she has delivered dozens of turnkey projects across various scales and typologies – medical and dental centers, retail spaces, offices, co-living projects, houses, and private themed interiors.
At COZY, architecture, function, and context lead the process, while style emerges naturally.

Geya also brings strong entrepreneurial experience. At 25, she completed her first business exit by selling Chez Fefe macarons & cafe at its peak, including physical locations, e-commerce, and a ready-to-execute marketing strategy. The brand still operates today, over a decade later.
