I am an interior design graduate from George Brown College, where four years of study have shaped my thoughtful and playful design approach. Through observation and hands-on experimentation, I have developed a practice rooted in care and harmony.
Guided by empathy and strong attention to detail, I am passionate about designing spaces that enhance user experience, bring joy to their daily use, and foster meaningful connections between people, space, and our environment.

Located in the Gaslight District, a community hub in the middle of Cambridge, this youth facility was designed inspired by Nintendo’s Mario game world to address the ongoing issue of youth violence and crime around GTA.
The design concept is translated into a maze-like plan with pixel elements by the use of materials to mimic the digital world while balancing it with warm wood textures, natural stone, and soft fabrics. Altogether, these elements sharpen the youth's curiosity yet create a safe space to support their journey of self-discipline, creativity, and collaboration with positivity and playfulness.

Steelcase office and showroom is designed around the idea of the Yin-Yang philosophy, integrating principles of harmony and balance with a focus on neurodivergent inclusivity The design approach recognizes the importance of opposing yet complementary elements working together. The spatial planning balances quiet zones for focus with collaborative areas for interaction, reflecting the need for both individuality and connection
The concept will be translated through the connection between openness and privacy, ensuring the space feels inclusive and adaptable to diverse needs and the blend of the quiet and energetic spaces The spatial flow creates an environment that promotes comfort and supports functionality emphasizing the balanced approach of the workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered.

Yin (Black) represents quietness and private; while Yang (white) is about loudness and active.
In Taoism, Ying and Yang are always together In Ying includes Yang and vice versa.
With this concept in mind, we intend to create an space where harmony meets inclusivity, balancing minds, spaces, and ways of working.

Open Office Entertainment Room
To translate the qualities of the Yin side, which is quietness and depth, the muted palette of grays, greens, and earthy browns, paired with dark walnut wood and fabrics is used throughout the private office area.
Materials such as minimalist pattern carpet, painted walls with soft colors, and soft felt fabrics to create a calming, home-like environment, helping employees feel comfortable, grounded, yet focused.
