Since I was a child, I loved looking at floor plans in apartment advertisements in newspapers and imagining my dream house. I would design layouts that ensured every family member could live comfortably with a smooth flow of daily activities.
Over time, this passion turned into my profession, focusing on interior design for workplace and high-rise residential projects.
While I enjoy the final result of a project, I particularly love and excel at the initial stages—developing strategies and concepts. Thinking through the vision and planning at the start is where I find the most excitement and fulfillment in my work.
