For more than a decade, Adriana served as the Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Surface Media, where she led the partnerships, custom content, and experiential divisions for architecture and design clients including Design Within Reach, Molteni&C, B&B Italia, Rockwell Group, and 2x4, among others. She helped launch successful programs—including the flagship Design Dialogues conversation series and the award-winning installation, The Diner, presented during Milan Design Week—that raised the media company’s profile and significantly increased global awareness of the brand within and beyond the design sector.

More recently, Adriana consulted for the newly launched online marketplace Basic.Space, and introduced the company to leading brands in the home category. She developed the partnership with Vitra to launch their Virgil Abloh c/o Vitra US Edition,  where the limited edition pieces were sold exclusively through the platform.

Before Surface, Adriana was the Director of Communications and New Business Development for the internationally renowned hospitality firm Tihany Design. For the 2012 DesignJunction fair in London, she co-produced "America Made Me,"  an exhibition featuring a collection of objects that reflected the range of techniques, materials, and creative disciplines influencing the U.S. market.

Adriana is active in the design community and believes design has the power to make our lives better.
