my approach to design
and other bits and pieces
With a master’s degree in Interior Architecture and a foundation in city planning, I approach every project with both creativity and precision. I believe thoughtfully designed environments—residential or commercial—have the power to elevate daily life and reflect a distinct sense of identity. From small architectural details to sweeping spatial plans, I design with intention, transforming spaces into experiences that feel refined, functional, and deeply personal.
​
I have a special passion for small and overlooked spaces—finding purpose and beauty in the details others might miss. I’m drawn to people and ideas that go against the grain and aim to design in ways that feel authentic rather than expected. Outside of design, you’ll find me painting, gardening, and spending time with the people I love most.
