Today we’d like to introduce you to Vitalina.
Hi Vitalina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
For me, the journey to becoming the proud owner of Burdeina’s Design wasn’t a traditional one. Growing up, I would often rearrange the furniture in her room, experimenting with color schemes, textures, and lighting to create spaces that felt both cozy and inspiring. It was in those early moments of rearranging a bookshelf or selecting the perfect throw pillow that I first discovered my love for transforming spaces.
But like many, I initially took a more conventional path. I pursued a degree in business, thinking it would offer her stability and a clear career trajectory. While I excelled in my studies, something always felt missing. My heart wasn’t in the corporate world; it was in the creative process, in helping people shape the environments that would surround them every day.
Driven by a deep love for design and an entrepreneurial spirit, I took a leap of faith and launched Burdeina’s Design, a full-service interior design business. My mission was clear: to help people create beautiful, functional spaces that reflect their unique personalities and needs.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like most entrepreneurial journeys, launching Burdeina’s Design came with its share of obstacles. The early days were especially tough. Starting from scratch meant doing everything on my own — from building a website and managing social media to sourcing vendors, creating client proposals, and handling budgets. I wore every hat, and that could be overwhelming at times.
One of the biggest struggles was self-doubt. Interior design is a competitive field, and there were moments where I questioned whether I was “qualified enough” or if I could really make this dream work. But I reminded myself why I started — my passion for creating beautiful, livable spaces — and that kept me going.
As you know, we’re big fans of Burdeina’s Design. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Burdeina’s Design is more than just an interior design business — it’s a reflection of my belief that every space should feel deeply personal, effortlessly functional, and beautifully intentional. Based on the idea that design should improve the way we live, work, and feel, my mission is to help clients create spaces that are not only stylish but also truly livable.
What do I do? I offer full-service interior design for residential and boutique commercial spaces. That includes everything from space planning, color consultations, and furniture sourcing to full renovations and styling. Whether someone needs help pulling a room together or is starting from the ground up, I tailor each project to their unique needs, vision, and lifestyle.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
When I first started Burdeina’s Design, I felt the pressure to have everything figured out: a flawless brand, a perfect portfolio, and a steady stream of clients. But the truth is, building a business — especially a creative one — takes time, patience, and resilience.
I’ve learned that it’s okay to start small, to grow slowly, and to evolve as both a designer and a business owner. Every project has taught me something new, whether it was about design, communication, or even setting boundaries. The “perfect” path doesn’t exist, and the most meaningful growth has come from being adaptable, staying open, and learning from the moments that didn’t go as planned.
