ABOUT ME
As a tech-driven Designer with hands-on experience as a designer intern, I bring a unique blend of multi-cultural experience and a passion for computational design. My extensive interior design education in Japan, coupled with global travels over 30 countries, has shaped my ability to seamlessly translate ideas into dynamic 3D models and compelling renderings. With a decade of professional experience and a strong aptitude for adapting to new concepts, I am recognized for my proficiency in Microsoft Office, quickly learning new software applications, particularly in presentation creation and Excel utilization. I am excited to contribute my skills and bring a fresh perspective to the world of interior design.

VIEW FROM ENTRANCE
“Ori, a Japanese restaurant, offers a high-end dining experience at the station. Named after the Japanese word “Origami,” which means “layer” or “folding,” Ori draws inspiration from the layers in Kimonos and traditional Japanese Washi paper. The color theme reflects Kimono layers representing the four seasons. Ori’s logo, inspired by the Japanese flag, features a red circle on a white background, symbolizing our hot pot menu. The floor plan mirrors this with circular layers extending from the central bar, embodying Japanese culture’s meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.”This restaurant represents Japanese culture characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The clients are a couple in their mid-20th expecting their first child in 6 months. Alex is a photographer working from home and Suzanne is a Chef hosting virtual cooking. We created their own Stuio for photoshoots. Large open kitchen and continuous dining table which have enough space for shooting and accommodate friends for dinner.
Keep the minimal design along with your life, but our design added warmness through texture, textiles, and unique beautiful focal points such as an atrium on living room though second floor and hallway gallary above, so that the family can have a cozy, relaxing time together.

Our client Jessie is on wheelchair and he plays wheelchair rugby. In order to meet the needs of this vibrant and determined client, we have crafted a barrier-free apartment that seamlessly blends functionality with a stylish design.
With meticulous attention to detail, we have ensured that every corner of the apartment is easily accessible for Jessie. For instance, we have incorporated a width of 60 inches in all spaces, including hallways and bathrooms, to allow effortless maneuverability of the wheelchair. Moreover, the height of the shelves and kitchen counters has been thoughtfully designed to cater to both wheelchair users and individuals who do not use wheelchairs.The corner between master bed room and living room is rounded so they can move smoothly. The floor material is durable for wheelchair usage and provide good grip.
