PROFILE I am a passionate designer with a love for beauty, details, and wellness. Whether it’s the atmosphere of a space, graphic design, or furniture design, I love creating beautiful things. I am keen to developing beautiful solutions, giving special attention to every detail of a project, and have a knack for curating unique interior moods for different spaces. Mental & physical wellness is very important to me; I am fascinated by how design effects users psychologically, socially, emotionally, and physically. I aspire to create beautiful spaces that are comforting and inspiring, prioritizes users, and full of thoughtful materials.
