“I’m excited to join Confidants because it creates space for voices that aim to challenge, elevate and expand perspectives.” Interior architect Marika Aro joins Confidants

Confidants is happy to announce interior architect Marika Aro to join the speakers. Marika Aro is a world-class talent whose vision is as colourful as her imagination is detailed - like the projects she has accomplished. She is not only an exceptional designer but a visionary, crafting interiors with the sensitivity of a storyteller and the precision of a true master.

“I’m excited to join Confidants because it brings together people who believe in the power of ideas, and I’m eager to share how spaces, creativity and intuition can spark new ways of thinking. It’s a privilege to be part of a community that values depth, imagination and meaningful dialogue.”, Marika Aro.

Recently Marika has designed a hotel concept in Lviv, Ukraine. Through this project Marika is enthusiastic to share how environments during crisis prove the power of well-crafted visual identity to create calm, hope, or community. She can share what the Ukraine hotel project taught about designing for safety, adaptability, and human dignity in unstable environments. Or how companies can treat space as a strategic tool that guides behaviour, supports brand values, and strengthens customer loyalty. The psychology of contrast and surprise: how mixing the familiar with the unexpected drives emotional response. Marika can be booked for talks or workshops through Confidants. 

“It’s a pleasure to have Marika in our team of speakers. Her vast experience as an interior architect is a possibility for our customers and event organisers to hear and learn more about the creative process and management and use of space in more inspiring ways. Marika has a signature style and her positive attitude will shine light to audiences.”, CEO, Laura Köönikkä.
