Monica Figueroa
Commercial Interior Designer /
Maker / Aspiring Entrepreneur
Originally from Florida, I have been living in North Carolina since 2017 and I absolutely love living here. Professionally, I have been working as a Commercial Interior Designer for 10+ years.
I was a Senior Interior Designer and Project Manager at a nationally recognized architectural firm with offices in major markets across the country. Immersed in the design process, working on a number of multi-family apartments, international restaurants and theme park venues, my experience on both the creative process and project communication has provided me an expansive knowledge and understanding of function, aesthetic, guest experience and technical follow-through.
​
In my free time, I love to delve into artistic projects including creating new jewelry, painting, photography, and mosaics. Always enjoy a challenge and trying something new. Travel is also a love of mine as well as opening my home via Airbnb and meeting people from all walks of life. ​​
Where does the name of the company stem from?
Freebird is this idea of having the liberty to spread my wings to create and explore. Being BOLD and stepping out in FAITH.
​
Spark is the creative light bulb moment. Whether it's in a design, approach or new perspective. I think there are so many things around us that we get a spark from like nature, people and even communion with the Lord.

The icon is that of an origami Hummingbird. It symbolizes enjoyment of life and reminds me that beauty is everywhere.
