About 

My passion for Interior Design stems from the compelling idea of enhancing people's lives through my creative solutions. Whether it's identifying subtle inefficiencies in a living space or reimagining a room for better functionality, I thrive on the challenge of problem-solving. To me, this ability to address and resolve issues is the cornerstone of exceptional design. My journey from Vietnam to the US has been a tapestry of learning and inspiration, shaping my vision of how design intersects with everyday life.
