Meet Orlena Dupree, IIDA
I am a Washington-DC based licensed interior designer with over 10 years of experience using AutoCAD, Sketchup, and the Adobe Creative Suite to visualize and document interior environments. I studied Interior Design at Jefferson University (formerly Philadelphia University), and came to the DC area after completing my Master’s in Industrial Design at the Florence Design Academy in Italy. For the past 8 years, I have spent time dedicated to exhibit design in the nation's capital, creating intentional spaces that encourage curiosity. With my knowledge of fabrication materials and techniques, 3D renderings, design drawings and technical details, I collaborate with clients and fabricators to bring exhibit concepts to life.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and daughter, traveling, creating floral arrangements, and building IKEA furniture.
