Joanna Shirin is a classical artist, internationally acclaimed interior designer, and the founder of Joanna Shirin Design Studios, Inc. With a lifelong passion for the arts, Joanna began her journey at the prestigious Jaņ Rozentāls Art School before advancing her studies at the Latvian Academy of Fine Arts. Over three decades ago, she made New York City her home, where her creative vision has flourished.
Driven by her love for storytelling and her deep appreciation for the connection between people and the spaces they inhabit, Joanna earned a BFA in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design in NYC. For over 28 years, she has been transforming interiors into stunning works of art, curating meaningful collections of art and objects that reflect the essence of those who live in them.
In recent years, Joanna has expanded her artistic repertoire to include landscape lighting design. This new venture allows her to enhance the natural beauty of outdoor spaces by showcasing them in their best light. “The most beautiful works of art are those that we can fully appreciate when they’re illuminated just right,” Joanna says. “Nature itself is a masterpiece, and thoughtful lighting brings out the magic already present in the world around us.”
Today, Joanna continues to lead full-service interior design projects while passionately creating artistic lighting designs that celebrate and elevate the inherent beauty of the spaces she touches.
