Ria Flores

Ria Flores is an interior designer with over 26 years of professional experience spanning kitchen design, condominiums, resorts, offices, and high-end residential projects. She currently serves as Chief Design Officer at a fast-growing local construction and design firm, and works closely with premium kitchen brands across the Philippines.

Beyond architecture and interiors, Ria is deeply invested in fashion and is building her own clothing brand, Boro & Kin — a reflection of her eye for aesthetics that extends from living spaces to personal style.

Ria has lived in a condominium in Makati for nearly a decade, which gave her a front-row seat to the evolution of urban services in Metro Manila — from the humble neighborhood laundry shop to the modern, aesthetic laundromats now popping up in BGC, Ortigas, and Ayala. That daily reality of condo living — finding reliable laundry, navigating per-kilo pricing, discovering which shops handle delicates with care — forms the backbone of her writing here.

An avid traveler, Ria has visited top cities around the world through both her professional work and a genuine love of exploration. She creates content on YouTube and TikTok documenting her travels, and brings that global perspective to how she sees urban living in the Philippines — always looking for what works, what's improving, and what can be better.

On LaundryAtlas, Ria writes about laundry shop culture, condo life tips, service pricing, and the surprisingly rich world of Philippine laundromats. Her goal is simple: help people in the city — and those passing through — find the right laundry shop with confidence.
