ABOUT

"True design is invisible until it is absent. It’s not just what we create, but how it shapes the way people feel, move, and belong. My work is about crafting those silent connections — the spaces and stories that stay with you long after the first encounter."

— Tea De Santis

From an early age, Tea De Santis was immersed in a life where space and form were fundamental languages—born to two architects, she learned to see the world through lines, light, and structure long before words. This early exposure gave her a profound understanding of how design shapes human experience, whether in built environments, crafted textiles, or curated atmospheres.

For over 15 years, Tea has translated this vision into the global fashion industry, leading creative direction with an unerring focus on narrative clarity and emotional resonance. But her creative scope extends well beyond apparel. She has shaped showroom concepts, directed photographic storytelling, designed editorial graphics, and crafted immersive brand presentations—all facets of a holistic design language.

Her global career spans Europe, the USA, Asia, and South Africa, enriching her perspective and deepening her capacity to blend cultural nuance with universal aesthetic values. This international insight informs her ability to craft designs that speak across markets yet remain authentic to each brand’s core identity.

Today, Tea’s work bridges fashion, interiors, wellness, and lifestyle sectors, uniting them through a rigorous, editorial approach to aesthetics and experiential storytelling. She curates every element with precision, creating cohesive, compelling environments that engage audiences on multiple sensory levels.

More than a designer, Tea is a strategic creative partner who elevates brands by shaping how they live, move, and connect with their communities—designing not just objects or spaces, but meaningful experiences that endure.
