Who is this guy?
An interior designer with a passion for crafting spaces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful. With a background in the environmental and events industry, I bring a fresh perspective to the world of design, constantly challenging traditional norms and pushing boundaries.
I thrive on pitching thoughtful ideas and concepts to clients, infusing my work with a fusion of art, philosophy, and abstract thinking. I love exploring the interplay between different concepts and materials, creating unique and emergent designs that captivate the imagination.
When I'm not immersed in the world of design, you'll likely find me in my workshop, channeling my creativity into passion projects that allow me to further explore the intricacies of physical materials and their collective impact. Additionally, I've developed a profound fascination for film photography, finding solace in the tactile nature and uncertainty that comes with each shot. The anticipation and delayed gratification add a unique flavor to my creative process.
