Interior Design (Emerging) | Graphic & Spatial Design
A portfolio of interior design work is currently in development. This page highlights my background in visual design.
Embedded Files
I am a design-trained professional with a Master’s in Industrial Design and a background in graphic and gallery exhibition currently transitioning into residential interior design.
I focus on how a space looks and how it works—thinking through layout, materials, and overall feel to create spaces that are both functional and cohesive.
I bring extensive experience in client-facing design and project coordination, and I’m especially interested in how thoughtful design can improve the way people live in and experience their spaces. My approach balances aesthetics with practical decision-making, shaped by hands-on experience working with clients and managing real-world projects.
