My path into design began in a one-bedroom apartment piled with lumber and grit. I bought a miter saw and table saw, cut every strut by hand, and—working side-by-side with my dad—raised a geodesic greenhouse in a week. A few months later, I followed a single YouTube tutorial and built my own loft bed in one Saturday. These aren’t just projects—they’re a mindset. I’m someone who figures it out, gets it done, and believes design should teach, include, and empower. My passion lies in making design accessible, hands-on, and built from the ground up—literally.

Transforming Spaces, Elevating Lives with Design
Placed the pieces, played with the light, and let shadows do their thing. A little contrast, a little calmjust enough to keep it intersenting
Curated. Captured. Edited.
I paired creamy boucle with a neutral color palette to make these spaces feel like a deep exhale. A blend of sotness, symmetry, and texture
Defining Atmospheres
Warmth, not noise. That’s the yellow rule.
I let the home leed. Wen I stage, I pay attention to the tones, textures, and little details already present in the space-then I echo them
Alongside staging and design, I love making interior videos that show off the feel of the home and not just how it looks, but how it lives. Here are a couple I’ve made:

Desigining is a conversation
Interior design is about collaboration, getting to know a client and shaping space around their lifestyle, taste, and story. Staging is different. Your’re not reflecting someone’s personality, you’re creating a space that feels open enough for anyone to see themselves in it.
CLean, minimal, neutral tones aren’t trends, they’re tools. Staging isn’t abput decorating, it’s about suggestion. You’re setting the stage for a life that hasn’t happened yet.
What I love about design iS the collaboration whether it’s with a client, a team, or in the space itself. I’m a self-starter, but I don’t work in a vaccum. I listen, I contribute, and I’m not afraid to take a creative risk. In fact playing it safe is the fastest way to lose the magic.I bring bold ideas with a grounded attitude, and people tend to trust that. Because I show up, and I care.
I BEGAN WITH A TRIANGULAR TESSELLATION ON A HEXAGONAL GRID. BY INTRODUCING A POINT ATTRACTOR, I MANIPULATED THE Z-AXIS DISPLACEMENT OF NEARBY VERTICES — CREATING BULGES OR DEPRESSIONS IN THE MESH.
THIS REVEALED THE POTENTIAL OF FAILURE. A SINGLE COLLAPSED NODE DISRUPTED THE SURFACE ADN GRID, CREATING AN EMERGENT CAVITY. THIS "MISTAKE" BECAME THE ARCHITECTURAL CORE — A SPATIAL VOID THAT INFORMS THE ELEVATION, SECTION, AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS.
WHAT BEGAN AS A PARAMETRIC EXPLORATION TRANSFORMED INTO A METHOD FOR CARVING SPACE THROUGH DISRUPTION. THE FAILURE BECAME A DELIBERATE ACT — ONE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES PRESSURE, INSTABILITY, AND TRANSFORMATION AS ARCHITECTURAL TOOLS.
