Founder & Creative Director
Hi, I’m Kurt - the founder of itsk.studio.
Eventhough I studied interior architecture at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels, my path into design was anything but linear. I’ve worked in business development, spent years in the fashion world, moved through six cities across three countries, and renovated spaces for myself long before turning it into a studio.
Based in Lisbon for over 12 years now, I’ve built itsk.studio around the kind of service I wish I had found when I arrived — thoughtful, trustworthy, and design-led, but grounded in real life. I work closely with my clients — many of them expats or second-home buyers - helping them create spaces that are intelligent, beautiful, and built to last.
This work is personal to me. It’s not just about design. It’s about how you live, how things feel, and making sure it all makes sense — visually, functionally, and emotionally.
If you are planning something, a move, a renovation, a transformation — I'd be happy to hear about it.
