Throughout the years of formation and collaboration her more outstanding facet has been the capacity of adaptation to each project of any discipline, and she began to be considered like multidisciplinary designer. In her beginnings she collaborated with architects and designers in several projects, and later since the 2000 until 2005, she had been working as part of the Estudi Arola team, collaborating in a multidisciplinary way in interiors, industrial and graphic design, in projects of exhibitions, offices, shops, restaurants, and others.

In the intense years in the Estudi Arola, some of her outstanding collaborations in design of ephemeral spaces were the exhibition “Leonardo da Vinci y la música” in Madrid, Pamplona and Tenerife, exhibition stands for “Troll Lighting“ in the fair of Milan and the “Innoval“ space in the Alimentaria fair of Barcelona, among others. In the field of interior design it’s possible to emphasize her contribution in several projects in the city of Barcelona like the new “La Caixa“ banking offices, “Mit-Mat Mamá“ prenatal clothes stores, “Oven“ restaurant, “Royalty“ shoes stores, among others. Due the reduced size of the team and their long stage, she was always maintained close to the industrial and product design projects, like the perfume bottles for “Idesa Perfumes“, lighting lamps for “Santa & Cole“, office furniture for “AG Admitrex“ and sofas for “Temas V “ company, among others. In the 2003 the designer Antoni Arola, together with his team received the National Prize of Spanish Design.
