About

Catherine Cena graduated from the University of the Philippines - Diliman with a degree in BS Interior Design, and ranked 7th in the nation during the 2009 Interior Design Licensure examinations. Since then, she has been consistently featured in publications as one of the top young designers in the country.

Before she established Catherine Cena Interiors, she worked for a Manila based Architectural firm where she trained in designing residential, commercial and hospitality projects as the firm’s senior interior designer. Since then, she has focused primarily on residential design, with the realization that the heart is in the home, and that having well designed homes have a great effect on the wellbeing of people. With this in mind, she has been consistently trying to expand on her craft by providing personalized, well thought out, livable interior designs to her clients.
She is also the designer behind the kids’ furniture brand, Warble.

I believe in telling stories

All my designs are reflections of the stories of my clients. Their homes and spaces are the medium where I pay homage to their past, make their present work, and allow them to grow into their future.
