ESIN YAVUZ

Owner + Principle Designer

I am an Interior and award-winning Lighting Designer based out of Seattle, WA.

I love creating spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. My passion for design started early—I used to draw dream houses as a kid (yep, even did section drawings of my dream house when I was just 7!). This passion for design grew during my time at Bilkent University, where I earned my degree in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design.

Over the past decade, I have refined my skills, specializing in Architectural Lighting Design. From residential to commercial spaces, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities.

My vision for the OTTO? Simple yet profound: "Crafting unique spaces, reflecting personal stories." I believe every space has the potential to be extraordinary, and my mission is to unlock that potential with a wave of my design wand, and to create environments that not only meet your expectations but exceed them.

As a mom of two, I’m constantly inspired by the limitless creativity of my kids. Their imagination fuels my work, bringing a sense of wonder and joy to the spaces I design. And as a hardcore art enthusiast, I can’t resist weaving artistic elements into my projects, always on the hunt for unique textures, colors, and a good story. In my world, art isn’t just an accessory—it’s the beating heart of every project, transforming ordinary spaces into captivating masterpieces.

Thanks for taking a peek into my journey. I can’t wait to elevate your space and turn your vision into reality. Let’s make something amazing together!
