I am an interior designer with experience working on a wide range of residential, commercial, and retail projects. I am deeply interested in understanding consumer habits and daily routines, as I believe these insight are key to creating designs that are both functional and impactful. My expertise lies in ideation and conceptual design, where I focus on ensuring that every design choice serves a clear purpose.
I am passionate about various elements of design, including space planning, design development, wayfinding, signage, graphic design, and photography. By blending these aspects, I create environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also enhance the experience of those who use them. My approach is centered around crafting spaces that feel intuitive, purposeful, and inspiring.
Muti Kitchen & Bath
Retail Showroom
This project was a dynamic showcase of custom millwork and furniture designed to create a moody, ambient space that encouraged both informal meetings and client interaction. The goal was to offer a welcoming environment where clients could enjoy a coffee while exploring the space. Central to the concept was the idea of discovery, with modular shelving systems strategically placed to create areas of interest, inviting visitors to explore retail items while sparking curiosity about what lay ahead.
The design incorporated custom mirrored ceiling panels, which not only reduced the visual height of the space but also reflected and enhanced the kitchen and bath experience, contributing to the showroom’s immersive atmosphere.
