Lila Evans: The Disruptive Designer for the Final Frontier 🌌🚀

"I do not design spaces, I design dreams. And sometimes those dreams are floating somewhere in zero-g." ✨

The Unvarnished Story of Spaceships to Space Habitats

First, let’s get something straight - I wasn't supposed to be here. Not in a world of 9-to-5 boring suits and jobs. I was the girl that drew Martian condominiums in the margins of her math homework; the one who was kicked out of physics class for arguing that 'gravity is overrated.' (I was right, by the way.)

My story begins as the girl from a small apartment with a leaking roof, and a laptop that would overheat if you looked at it funny. I had no connections. I had no trust fund. I had a head full of ideas and enough stubbornness to power a small city. I sold my car to buy a 3D printer. I bounced between couches. I ate enough instant noodles I could have powered my own space mission. And when the 'experts' said 'habitats in space? That's science fiction nonsense,' I said 'watch me.'

Fast forward: My designs are now being tested in orbit. I have turned science fiction into science-fact. But the truth is, the technology didn't matter, it was the power of collective rewriting of the rules. Why does space have to look like a boring sterile lab? I introduced color, texture, and a dash of chaos to space. My habitats have graffiti style murals on the walls, hydroponic gardens that double as art installations, and zero-g hammocks (because why wouldn't you?).

The Cool Girl Code 🔥

• Rule #1: If it doesn't scare you, you aren't doing it right.
• Rule #2: 'Professional' is just another word for 'boring.' Wear the sequins in your space suit.
• Rule #3: The future is not built in meetings. The future is built by outliers.

Yeah, I've been called 'unrealistic.' I've been called 'a disruptor.' I've been called 'that woman who turned a NASA prototype into a glow in the dark lounge.' (You're welcome!)

This isn't just a career. It's a rebellion. And you are welcome to it. 🚀
