ABOUT ME
I am a certified interior designer with a passion for the visual arts and psychology. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Not long after, I also received my Certificate in Interior Design from the University of California, Los Angeles Extension. I am currently completing my M.S. in Spatial Experience Design at ArtCenter College of Design.
I am a firm believer in marrying the two fields of psychology and interior design together for a more holistic approach: to create beautiful, healthy spaces that enhance people's sense of well-being. Along with my teamwork-oriented and problem-solving skills, I am adept at executing projects and delivering quality results for clients.

Customers are first greeted by a funnel-shaped column. It is an LED column encased within recycled resin. The LED column plays a video of honey dripping. The design is meant to imitate the effect of honey dripping from the ceiling.

BRAINSCAPES
BRAINSCAPES
“For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.”
-Zhuangzi
What if we could visualize what is going on in our brain? What if we could project what is going on in our brain into an immersive space? Mendi is a wearable device that allows us to visually see our brain activity through blood flow in the prefrontal cortex. Only now, it is not limited to the screen.Through a series of interactive spaces accompanied by synchronized visual and auditory stimuli, this immersive experience will allow you to not only discover the wonders of neurofeedback therapy, but also a manifestation of self-empowerment.
A “breathing” tree is projected onto mesh curtains inside of a tunnel. This space prompts visitors to focus on their breathing at the start of the experience.

A mirrored icosahedron lit with LED strip lights provides a disorienting experience, signifying the rising action.
A surreal maze that requires you to light your own path to find your way out. Wall partitions are padded and vary in height. The LED cove lighting and a suspended ceiling mirror act as guides.

A cosmic, delightful celebration after having conquered the maze. Suspended stars will glow and

The final space aims to induce an ethereal and thoughtful state. Three large lanterns will light up and move up & down, manifesting the power of your own mind.
A RESILIENT CASE STUDY HOUSING PROJECT MA
DECAY
Restorative nostalgia manifests itself in total reconstructions of monuments of the past, while reflective nostalgia lingers on ruins, the patina of time and history, in the dreams of another place and another time.

MAMO
MAMO is an affordable housing project for families that are affected by the Eaton fire in Altadena, California. The concept is to let things age beautifully, embrace the wear & tear, and be one with nature. Each room is modular and customizable to the client’s needs. The design aims to evoke the Buddhist concepts of transience, impermanence, and ephemerality through the use of natural materials, patina, and perforations that interplay with light and shadows.

READCREST RESIDENCE
I was tasked with the interior decorating of a sun-soaked, modern mansion nestled in the idyllic hills of Beverly Hills. The house is surrounded by lush greenery and offers beautiful panoramic views of Los Angeles. Its white, sleek architecture can feel cold and sterile at times; however, it provides a wonderful blank canvas to warm up with furniture, lighting, wallpaper, drapery, plants, and artwork. I incorporated earthy tones combined with calming neutrals, and added natural textures to complement the existing limestone brick walls. The goal was to create a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere for this residence.
ALDERSGATE RESIDENCE
For this newly renovated home, the client wanted it to be his zen sanctuary. Wood is a dominant element that is combined with a restrained, neutral palette. The furniture selections are minimalist without sacrificing character and comfort.

Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness.
