About
My journey in Interior Design began when I won the 4-year Tuition Scholarship Award Competition at The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. During my studies I have developed essential skills and understanding of codes and various information that goes into designing a room.
It is beyond my imagination that I was given the opportunities to work with celebrities like Tom Skilling, Beach Boys, and Dream Home 2010. It is not the glamour that is valuable but the relationship that I have developed with them.
When I won the Best In Show Awards at the Portfolio Show 2010 it became more obvious that my talent is invested at the right place. I'm passionate of sketching concepts and bring them to life. My greatest joy is to see my clients' dream coming true and becoming speechless. The purpose is to promote and improve an affordable and healthy living environment. -
