About 

I went to sci arc. After school I started working as a furniture designer for two years. Then I started working as an Interior Architect that focused more in restaurant design. As a designer, I know that buildings  are supposed to be an intimate experience. But in terms of scale, Interiors like chairs, stools, tables, counters, colors and lit object are more personal. There should't be a hierarchy between a building and the objects inside of it. They should compliment or fuse together to create an unforgettable experience.
