ABOUT DESIGN CURATOR
I am Rafaela Mazzutti.
​
Nice to meet you. A Brand & Marketing Communications Strategist that grew up in a household where interior design and real estate were more than professions - they were part of everyday life.
This environment nurtured my eye for curation early on and has continuously influenced my approach to branding and communication throughout my career.
​​
However, over the years, I've taken a more active role in interior design, managing residential renovation projects in both Brazil and Belgium. Leading these projects end to end reignited my passion for creating spatial narratives.
Today, I'm channeling this intersection of strategic marketing expertise and intuitive sense of artistry into my own venture. Through “Design Curator: Design for thought, curated for life”, I specialize in visual storytelling by curating spaces that tell real livable stories.
​​
​
I strategically select elements based on deep understanding of narrative, identity, and cultural context. I craft environments that function as three-dimensional expressions of your authentic self - spaces designed for thought, curated for life.
​
Is your space authentically telling the story you want to tell?
Let’s connect!
UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
I am a storyteller and strategist who uses space as a medium for identity expression. While architects focus on structure and interior designers focus on decoration, as Design Curator I focus on narrative. Design Curator creates a new category: strategic design curation to democratize sophisticated living.
SERVICES
We bring brand strategy to interior design. The Design Curator experience connects philosophy and practice in one seamless system through a collaborative, purpose-led approach.
​
Our methodology - Strategic Design Curation™ - defines how we think. The Design Curator Journey™ translates that thinking into a clear, four-phase process.
​
Each of the four Core Services corresponds to a journey phase and produces a distinct outcome — a dedicated module:
Foundations Guide, Concept Atlas, Curated Roadmap, or Signature Space Experience. Less about trends, more about you.
​
When combined, these modules form the Design Curated Living Blueprint™ - a bespoke, cohesive storytelling-driven strategic book that decodes your identity, visualizes your story, curates your space with clarity, and delivers a fully styled environment.
It becomes your personalized, trusted design adviser - empowering confident decisions long after the project is complete, fostering lasting clarity and autonomy.
​
New categories, Taste Services and Packages, will be available soon. Prices available upon request via email.
