M: Do you have any formal or informal style or design training? K: No nothing at all. I have just always loved decorating and crafty stuff. I love making things and craft stores are like a little piece of heaven for me. My mum and I used to go to a store back in Australia called Spotlight, we used to tell my dad that we were going to our church to pray to the craft gods. M: It seems that you have some distinct colour preferences that you work most creatively with. What are your favourite colour palettes to work with?

Recently Sims Interior Design hosted the first of hopefully many SID’s Design Star Challenge – with Kementari’s star creativity placing her in the winner’s circle. From the eyes of the fans of Kementari’s design work in Sims3 it appears as if it all comes naturally. Her designs appear polished and professional with a fluid and liveable feel to them. However, Kementari herself would tell you that this is not always true – inspiration does not always come automatically, especially when challenged with designs that don’t fall into her preferences. Even so, Kementari consistently digs in and steps outside of her comfort zone to prove to her fans that anything is possible when you set your mind to it.
K: I absolutely LOVE muted colors, earthy tones and soft pastels. I like the washed out look. I am not a big fan of bright sharp colors. No I shouldn’t say that; I just don’t know how to use them effectively, but they are nice to pop a room every now and then. M: I have been noticing your designs for quite some time as you have been designing with the Triple Take Studios Design Challenges and there is definitely a common feel to your creations. How would you describe the signature Kementari style?
