We had the good fortune of connecting with Anton Baklan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anton, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand SOIA DESIGN is the continuous evolution of conditions, approaches, and self-development. This prevents stagnation and drives both professional and personal growth. For instance, we recently relocated to Los Angeles to embrace new opportunities and further pursue this philosophy.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We’re Anton and Ekaterina, a passionate design team who bring together the visionary power of interior design and the technical precision of architecture to create exceptional living spaces. Our journey began at Sochi State University, where we honed our creative skills and developed a deep understanding of form and function. ​
For five years, we put our knowledge to work in a renowned architectural firm, collaborating on projects that instilled a respect for meticulous planning and structural integrity. However, our desire to translate design dreams into tangible realities fueled our entrepreneurial spirit. So, we took the leap and founded SOIA DESIGN, a space where your vision meets our expertise.

SOIA DESIGN is an interior design firm with over 12 years total of founder’s experience. Our commitment to professionalism and passion for our craft drive us to consistently deliver high-quality products and services to our esteemed clientele. Our services include: RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN, COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGN, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.

A year ago we moved in Los Angeles and start to work here, working on existing projects and searching for new opportunities! Since our main source of new design orders is word-of-mouth, in a new location we have to face new challenges, develop an online presence, so that more people know about us.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
As a hike and walk lover my personal favorite spots near Los Angeles is Ranyon canyon and Hollywood sign trails, Beverly Hills Rodeo drive, Santa Monica beach and Venice beach and canals, Point Dume, Zuma beach and Malibu beach. My favorite spot out of the LA is Laguna beach in Orange County.
