ep. 01 Laura Karasinski

Laura Karasinski is a Vienna-based interior designer and the founder of Atelier Karasinski, which she started at just 21 while studying at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Born in Austria to Polish parents, Laura grew up around construction sites, surrounded by sketchbooks and conversations about space. That early world shaped the way she approaches design today.

Her work is deeply personal, often drawing on places, materials and memories she has collected along the way. Through Atelier Karasinski, she has worked with clients including Yves Saint Laurent and Universal Music Group, and designed paper republic’s la maison in Vienna. Her work has been recognised by Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and Architectural Digest’s AD100.

Laura joins the curious to talk about building a creative career on your own terms, how she defines beauty, what it means to be an entrepreneur, and the role her cultural background has played in her story.
