INTRODUCTION ABOUT
DESIGNER PHILOSOPHY
Interior design is continually evolving, moving, and adapting to the changing times and trends. Interior design is also becoming an increasingly significant sector in modern society.
The influence is notable everywhere from small businesses to large corporations and has had a great impact on contemporary society and business environment.
More than ever, the Interior design field has the potential to play a vital role in helping to kick start economic growth. For instance, for an organization to survive and prosper, it must embrace design that breaks the mold. In this regard, I aim to be at the forefront of these creative efforts.
My interior design philosophy is based upon the belief that the most critical aspect of interior design is the purpose of the project rather than what is being designed that is the “Why” factor rather than the “What or Who” factors.
A well-designed project should not only create transformative designs that improve competitive advantage to the clients but should also bring positive impacts to the surrounding population and environment. Interior design should not concentrate only on beauty but include thoughtful procedures that can promote sustainability.
Through my belief, I intend to use the “Why” principle to create designs that will help our clients to enhance their competitive positions in the modern economy. Again, understanding the reason why the clients want the plan will help in developing designs that are customer-focused and which are relevant to contemporary society and economy.
Therefore, I believe that my principle will be of great benefit not only to our clients but also to the growth and profitability of the organization.

ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES
For Array Technologies, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, the design of their break room was inspired by the company’s commitment to sustainability and clean energy. As part of the design concept, the client emphasized the use of sustainable and recyclable finishes. In response to this, I integrated solar panels—one of Array’s core products—into the design, repurposing them as a unique divider in the break area. This not only reflects Array’s values but also
demonstrates how innovative, sustainable solutions can be applied in interior design. The overall space combines functionality with a modern aesthetic, creating a restful and eco-conscious environment for employees. This project emphasizes the integration of innovative, environmentally conscious solutions into everyday spaces, reflecting Array Technologies’ mission to lead in the clean energy sector.

URBAN DWELLING
Made For : Honeymoon Couple Concept : Maximizing Natural Light Location : Manhattan, New York
Natural light changes over time and season. There are many windows in many buildings and the natural light comes into spaces through the windows.
However the light cannot reach the entire space due to change of time and season. Natural light affects hugely on the mood, feeling and temperature of the space.
People nowadays are paying less attention to the natural lights in their residential places.
The key point of this project is placing as much light as possible in needed places, by controlling the natural light; designing a place is possible through controlling the light
