Why I Became an Interior Designer:
I was a child when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn’t fully understand what was happening, but I understood the feeling of life becoming heavy and uncertain.
Around that time, I remember noticing how certain spaces made me feel. Museums, historic homes, beautifully designed places. They gave me a sense of calm I couldn’t explain yet, which I needed during that time.
I became curious about why some spaces could make you feel lighter and more at ease. That curiosity became the reason I decided to study interior design in college and learn how to create those feelings for others.
To me, design is not just about beauty. It is about how a space supports your life and shapes the way you feel every day. Thoughtful spaces have the power to quietly make life feel better.
