About 

Human-centric design and multi-culture exposure drive my passion to create and mold spaces and furniture. I design to inform and inspire through detailed multi-faceted design, and inclusive spaces.

I am an art enthusiast, and I love incorporating artwork by Artists who represent in my projects. I also love learning about new cultures and people around the world and am always inspired by the design solution that results from studying them.
