We know you love designing, but what about it do you love most?
I love that design is problem solving from a creative perspective. I truly enjoy creating spaces that reflects a client’s personality and responds well to their lifestyle needs, while offering an aesthetically pleasing and pleasant atmosphere. It is truly an exciting and rewarding process.
From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
I draw inspiration from my travels, I enjoy taking pictures and have often found them to be good sources of inspiration. And sometimes discovering the hidden beauties in my local community also offers inspiration. I constantly attend international design trade shows to stay on top of trends and to gain industry insight that always comes in handy when designing spaces.
What drives you to design?
My love for creativity and the ability to give life to a concept from creating a mood board all the way to seeing the final result. In addition, a well design space enhances our lifestyle and I find it quite rewarding, when my clients love the look of their space and feel comfortable in it .
