Founder & Creative Director – Studio Aelan

Giada graduated from the Politecnico di Milano with a BA (Hons) and MA in Interior Design. She began her professional career in Milan before moving abroad with the aim of expanding her creative horizons and gaining experience in international settings.
She entered the hospitality world in Toronto, where she took part in international luxury boutique hotel and lifestyle projects. In 2014, drawn to the cultural vibrancy of the United Kingdom, she settled in London.
For seven years, London has been the focal point of her professional journey, a dynamic environment where passion, rigour, and a design vision led her to the role of Associate at an internationally renowned architecture and interior design firm.
Throughout their experience, they collaborate with prestigious hotel brands and independent boutique operators, completing new build and renovation projects in Europe, the United Arab Emirates, Africa, and North America.
Building on a well-established and extensive international portfolio, in 2022 Giada opened a new chapter in her career by founding STUDIO AELAN, a design firm specialising in Hospitality Design and Luxury Residential.
STUDIO AELAN embodies a vision founded on authenticity, expertise, and a holistic approach to design, inspired by contemporary societal dynamics and the historical and cultural stratification of places.
