Paola Arletty Eduardo founded Synonymous with a desire to develop interiors that felt purposeful, harmonized, sophisticated and always timeless.  Her innate talent for coordinating opulent spaces is truly impeccable, offering her unparalleled creative vision for expertly imagined projects. She loves all things architecture and is known to be a multi-faceted individual with varying interests in the arts.  Growing up in multi-cultural New York City, her passion for languages, distinct countries and cultures quite literally allows her to communicate with ease and deliver to the most demanding requests.  She studied interior design independently through private courses in New York City, which enhanced her already natural abilities for space planning and curation.  Experience began and was gained by helping clients throughout neighboring states when she was merely 17 years old.  Paola's aesthetic is formal, yet refreshing, relaxed and soothing, prompting the interiors by Synonymous to reflect this.  Her role is to establish a design direction sympathetic to the client’s requests, skillfully overseeing all design concepts, while keeping true to the Synonymous signature aesthetic. She ensures that every scheme is tailored to the client and always being fulfilled to the highest level of excellence.
