Alfredo Bertorelli Designs
About
As an Architectural and Interior designer, I worked on commissions for private homes and several major commercial projects, franchises, and retail outlets with an emphasis on unique and fresh designs.
25 years of experience as a commercial designer and a contractor had widened my understanding of processes and operations that can be perfectly applied to many aspects of everyday life for residential design.
I create comfortable and elegant spaces oriented to their original purpose. Let me do the design and the research for all the elements and the right people for each job.

The first step is to have your initial consultation. There is no fee for this initial meeting. I offer two ways to do that:

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As an Architectural and Interior designer, I worked on commissions for private homes and a number of major commercial projects in offices and retail outlets across Venezuela, USA and the Caribbean with emphasis on unique and fresh designs. I do not have a recurring house style rather each design is totally unique; carefully tailored to the lifestyle and needs of the client and project. I have a reverential love of period property and I am particularly skilled at fusing modern concepts with listed buildings to create eclectic spaces.
While living in Houston, the Art Institute of Houston granted me a full-tuition scholarship by winning a nationwide design competition. After I graduated I worked for Richard Holley Inc. getting involved in projects that included residential renovation in Houston and London. Back in Venezuela, I was employed by the firm Melero Diseños owned by Bernabe Melero, a successful Spanish architect. Soon I became the head of a global design consultancy at Melero’s. After five years of working there I opened my own firm called D.I.C.A. Aware of the changes in the architectural field, I increased my skills by studying new design software technologies.
The taking of a number of Postgraduate courses not only engaged me with the fine arts but also improved my overall business administration knowledge. That allowed me to engaged positions in companies such as Kia’s Muebles and Tropitone Venezuela as General Manager in both cases. There I was commissioned on the task of developing new products and was in charge of all their Sales and Marketing operations as well as the supervising of the design and production for the new products. Over the years, I have evolved along with my clients and with the market needs.
