Why I am a Designer
I love the combination of creativity and problem-solving. For me, great design isn’t just about how a space looks. It’s about making it functional, thoughtful, and enjoyable for the people who use it.

Memorable Trip
One of my most memorable trips was during college, when our sketching class traveled through small towns in Italy. We would sit along the streets drawing the historic buildings in perspective while people walked by, some even tossing coins beside us as if we were street artists. It was such a unique way to experience architecture, art, and everyday life all at once.

Favorite Book
It’s hard for me to pick just one. I love fantasy and thrillers, especially books with a little wit and imagination. Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Terry Pratchett are longtime favorites.

My Secret Passion
Building and renovating things myself. It started when I was 14 and wanted to redo my bedroom, so I saved up, removed my own carpet, and installed the wall covering myself. Ever since, whenever I get the chance, I’d much rather tackle a project myself, whether it’s renovating a bathroom, laying flooring, or figuring out how to build or fix something.
