We know you love designing, but what about it do you love most?
It's all about the people and getting to know their lives and preferences. I love when I get a new project and I get to talk to the clients and really bond with them. For me it's the initial design process right at the beginning. I get sometimes so overwhelmed by the color combinations I come up with or mixing materials and prints. Sometimes I end up with so many options! But I love coming back to the clients and listening to their opinion - what they like or what they don't like. So it's about the communication between us. The best thing is when they get so excited and happy as I do when I work on a project.
Describe your go-to style:
It's definitely eclectic and richly layered. I love the mixology, materiality and pairing the contemporary with something unpredictable. I love sleek minimalistic interiors as well.
From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
I keep my eyes open when it comes to social media, design exhibitions and art history. Most of the inspiration also comes from the project's surroundings.
