About 

The professional and personal journey that I’ve experienced spans Finance and Interior Design. This has served to equip me with diverse skill sets that will most certainly serve my career as a professional interior designer. My passion for the process of creating beautiful and functional space is directly related to the path I’ve taken.

Having a background in Finance, I’ve come to appreciate the practical aspects of
space—the functional, the financial, and the real-world implications. I believe that this experience provides me with a unique perspective ensuring that every design choice is not only aesthetic, but also practical and value-driven.


Adaptability is one of my strongest skills recognizing that each project and every
client requires a unique approach. This adaptability confirms that every space I design is not only a reflection of the client’s vision, but also a testament to the ever-evolving nature of design itself.


Finally, the storytelling, the sensorial, the tactile and the sustainable are core beliefs that I try to integrate into my work. I seek a position with a firm that reflects this sensibility.
