About

Hi, I’m Giselaine

I’m the designer behind Lubin Akala Design. I earned my undergraduate degree from St. John’s University and my master’s in occupational therapy. As a stay-at-home mom during Covid, I turned a lifelong passion for design into a business, creating beautiful homes for clients who were suddenly spending more time in their spaces than ever before. I also helped business owners reimagine their offices into places that felt welcoming again.

That is how Lubin Akala Design was born.

Eight years later, I am still driven by the same thing: a love of design and the joy of changing how people feel in their own spaces. Turning basic into breathtaking is more than my slogan. It is what I do.
