Constantly immersed in a mixture of cultures, I have grown to learn and appreciate diversity. This diversity has become a big part of who I am a person and as a designer. I believe that good design is an expression of many contradictions. One that is simple yet complex, considers form and function whilst possessing a timeless quality but pushes the boundaries of design. My approach to design is a mixture of dynamism and innovation, creating new spatial experiences.
