Sema Sanıgök, Lead Designer and Founder of SKYSS Design Group

Sema Sanıgök's style is marked by her ability to execute intelligent design schemes through a harmonic convergence of diverse elements. In all of her work, classical and modern design elements are unified within a 21st century context.

Sema’s key capabilities as a designer can largely be attributed to her unique background. Born and raised in Istanbul and a perpetual traveler, Sema has spent the greater portion of her life deeply immersed in the artistry and rich cultural histories of the various places she’s lived and visited. As such, she has cultivated and sustained relationships with suppliers and artisans all over the world, giving her direct access to a wealth of rare and exclusive resources, such as authentic French country antiques or an original Klimt art piece from Vienna.

Sema's unique business experience and multicultural background transformed her into an exceptional leader with extraordinary strategic and tactical skills in developing and improving any size of project with confidence; from participating the restoration of Beverly Hills' historical landmark Greystone Mansion for which she received an "Accolade of Distinguished Service" from the Mayor of Beverly Hills to working on the design for Barbra Streisand's Malibu mansion.

Formally educated in both design and business and previously a senior business consultant for a Forbes 500 company, Sema possesses the knowledge and expertise to optimize solutions for a diverse client base. Her interest and understanding of the technology sector stems from years of experience evaluating partnerships and strategic solutions as a business development executive at one of Europe’s leading technology firms. Sema is at the forefront of innovation and knows how to integrate the latest technologies into her designs to maximize the efficiency and revenue generating potential of commercial spaces.

Her concern for the environment is as deeply rooted in her upbringing as her artistic and aesthetic appreciations. Her father, a pioneering scientist in the discovery and commercialization of sustainable materials, stressed the importance of technology in progressive design and helped cultivate Sema’s profound sense of environmental responsibility.

Sema is driven by an intrinsic need to perpetually evolve as a designer. With boundless creative vision and a relentless need for forward movement, she is able to execute design schemes that are not only elegant and visually stunning, but highly functional and sustainable.
