ABOUT ME
From the earliest days of my childhood, I have always had an intense passion for all things beautiful; things designed with a intent and purpose. I have always been a secret admirer of thoughtful design works that we come across in our daily lives – those that are so seamlessly integrated that we can easily take for granted, but impact our lives in a truly meaningful way. My mission is to perpetuate this idealogy that beautiful can be daring without being crass. I aspire to create thoughtful, beautiful spaces that are aesthetically engaging, and function at the highest level. I hope you enjoy my portfolio. Yi
