Today’s guest is someone whose work beautifully captures what modern luxury truly means—homes that are sophisticated, deeply personal, and designed not only to impress, but to elevate the way people live every single day.

Erik R. Galiana is the founder and principal of Interiors by Erik Galiana, a luxury interior design firm with projects spanning New York, South Florida, and international destinations. With a background rooted in luxury residential development and high-end real estate, Erik brings a perspective that goes beyond aesthetics—understanding how intentional interiors can enhance lifestyle, maximize property value, and create homes that feel timeless.

Today we’re talking about the new definition of luxury, the connection between design and well-being, how travel influences creativity, and why the most beautiful homes are often the ones designed with intention.

Today we’re diving into a part of our industry that truly defines whether great design actually becomes reality.

I’m joined by Ezgi Fitos, founder of Designology—a Miami-based, award-winning design-build studio operating at the intersection of design and construction. Her work focuses on high-end residential projects, and she also collaborates closely with architects and interior designers as a general contractor—bringing complex visions to life with precision and care.

What I love about her approach is the level of intention behind pre-construction and how that really protects the design all the way through execution.

So today, we’re talking about what it takes to build great design… and to actually get it right.

Welcome back to Creative Talks. Today we’re sitting down with a designer whose work goes beyond aesthetics and really taps into intention and the spirit of a space.

I’m excited to introduce Veronica Barney, founder of Veronica Design Studio, a Miami-based interior designer known for creating spaces that feel warm, beautiful, and deeply personal.

With years of experience transforming both residential and commercial environments, Veronica brings a thoughtful approach that blends design, functionality, and emotional connection—making every space truly reflect the people who live in it.
