My career began in architecture in Colombia before bringing me to New York, and I still approach interiors with an architect’s eye, thinking about how a space flows, how materials come together, and how every detail relates to the bigger picture. Over the years, my work has taken me from architecture into interiors, designing private homes, commercial projects, and multifamily residences across New York and beyond. With clients, I like to understand how they actually live, the routines they don’t think to mention, what they naturally gravitate toward, and what they want their home to feel like. I listen closely to the small comments because they often lead to the most personal decisions. At YossiG, I’m happiest developing the idea that gives a project its identity, and I’ll revisit a layout, material, or detail until it feels resolved. My interest in architecture actually started much earlier: as a kid, I was obsessed with building LEGO, constantly creating houses and spaces of my own. In a way, I’m still doing the same thing, just at a very different scale.
