A Little About Me
I’m deeply creative, drawn to architecture, design, psychology, and the way people and places connect.
I do many things—as you’ll learn once you get to know me—but at the core of it all, my work is about connection.
Connecting people to spaces, to each other, and to experiences that feel meaningful.
I’m always creating—whether through design, sourcing, writing, or AI. I have an obsession with texture, raw materials, plants, and the sensory experience of aroma and flowers.
Light and shadow mesmerize me. I’m constantly researching how emotions and environments intertwine and how storytelling can inspire, build trust, and transform the way we experience the world.
Creativity and connection aren’t just things I do—they are who I am.
I’m always exploring, always discovering new ways to bring people together.

Hands-on creativity — from pottery and painting to styling or assisting on design and advisory of unique projects.
How People and Places Shape Us
I’ve always been curious about how people connect with their environments — how spaces influence emotions, how objects carry meaning, and how the world around us shapes who we become.
Whether through architecture, design, or natural landscapes, the environments we create and inhabit reflect what we value, the experiences we have, and ultimately who we are or can become.
I’m especially drawn to the psychology of people and their connection to the spaces they occupy — why we feel grounded in some places and restless in others. It’s why I’m inspired by natural materials, light and shadow, and objects that hold stories.
Things That Interest Me
Exploring Culture and Connection
Travel has opened my eyes to how design, traditions, and environments express shared human experiences.
From vibrant marketplaces to handcrafted objects to quiet temples, every place has a unique rhythm, and a story to tell.
Exploring these spaces has deepened my understanding of how our surroundings influence our sense of identity, belonging, and creativity.
Travel has taught me that connection is universal, but how we express it is shaped by our environment. Every experience holds a lesson in understanding ourselves and the world around us.
Adopting New Ideas and AI
New ideas and tools that spark creativity and open up possibilities are a big part of my world — AI is no exception.
While AI is often misunderstood, I see it as a way to unlock new ways of thinking and empower creatives, businesses, and individuals. It’s not about replacing human creativity, but enhancing it — helping us explore new ideas and efficiency.
What excites me most is how AI can empower people to: tell their stories more clearly, simplify their workflows, and bring new ideas to life in built forms that further enhance and shape our environment.
Living with Intention
For me, living with intention means making space for reflection, something I’ve embraced through meditation and interests in quantum physics.
These practices have taught me that the energy we bring into our environments shapes our experiences. The spaces we inhabit, the people we surround ourselves with, and the choices we make all have a profound impact on our well-being and personal growth.
I’ve learned to slow down and ask, “Does this align with who I am and what I want to create?” This approach has transformed how I work and live, helping me avoid burnout, find clarity, and build more meaningful projects.
Design is about more than aesthetics — it’s about creating spaces, and objects that make people feel curious, connected, inspired, and at home.
