I’m so grateful for this journey.

Exactly 3 years ago, on my 30th birthday, I was on a plane to Bali with a one-way ticket and a huge dream in my heart.

Today, I’m turning 33.
And there are over 100,000 of you here.

I built everything from scratch.
I created a life on my own terms.
A global brand.
A global audience.
A life I once only imagined.

And if there’s one thing I want my story to be, it’s a reminder that there are no dreams that are “too big” for you.

But dreams stay dreams unless you decide to truly go for them.

Everything changes when you stop waiting and start building.

Thank you for being here, for supporting me, and for being part of this journey 🤍

And as a little birthday thank you from me:
for the next 24 hours only, my full Interior Design Business Toolkit is 33% OFF ✨

If you don’t have it yet — this is your chance.

A moodboard should never feel like a random collage of pretty images.

And honestly, I think moodboards became a little too… basic.

Like there is only one “correct” way to present them:
a few interior references,
some materials,
a color palette,
maybe one furniture piece,
done.

But the truth is — there are endless ways to show the first visual direction of a project.

A moodboard can feel like a piece of art.
Like a story.
Like a painting.
Like a feeling translated into images, textures, colors, materials, light and atmosphere.

Because this is usually the first visual element we present to the client.

And it should do more than just “show inspiration.”

It should communicate the emotion of the space.
The personality of the client.
The direction of the project.
And most importantly — your creativity as a designer.

Because before the renderings, before the technical drawings, before the final decisions…

The moodboard is where the client starts to feel the project.

A contract is not just legal protection.
It is a roadmap.
It tells the client exactly what to expect, when to expect it, and what happens if things change. It protects them. It protects you. And it sets the tone for a professional relationship before the project even begins.
The truth is — a strong contract is built from experience.
From the projects that went sideways.
From the conversations that got messy.
From the moments you thought “I should have had this in writing.”
You cannot write a solid contract on your first project.
You write it after you have seen enough to know what can go wrong.
I did.
After years of projects, clients, and real scenarios — I built mine. Every clause exists for a reason. Every section protects something specific.
And now I want to share it with you — so you do not have to learn the hard way.
Never start a project without a contract.
Not even for a friend.
Not even for a small job.
Not even “just this once.”
Structure is not just a design principle.
It is how you run your business.

Comment “LIGHTING” to get my simple visual guide you can use with your clients 👀

Lighting is one of the most underestimated parts of interior design.

And honestly?
Most designers treat it in the most basic way.

Same spots.
Same symmetry.
Same predictable layouts.

But lighting is not just technical.
It’s emotional.

It’s what allows you to:
– shift the mood
– change the atmosphere
– make a space feel completely different depending on the moment

And it doesn’t have to be obvious.

You don’t need perfect symmetry.
You don’t need “standard placement”.

You need:
→ layers
→ contrast
→ intention

Because as designers, we’re not here to “add lamps”.

We’re here to design light.

And that means:
– mixing different types of lighting
– creating unexpected compositions
– placing it where it actually builds the experience

There are so many beautiful fixtures.
So many possibilities.

Start using them.

Comment “STARTER” to get the exact questionnaires I use in my business to prepare every layout.

These are not random forms.
They’re detailed, structured, and built to give me everything I need before I even start designing.

They save me hours of back-and-forth with clients
and allow me to truly understand how they live, what they need, and what actually matters in their space.

Based on that, I develop minimum 3 different layout concepts.

Not because I can’t decide —
but because this is where the real design happens.

Exploring possibilities.
Showing options.
Creating solutions the client wouldn’t think of on their own.

This is exactly how I move from chaos → clarity → final layout.

And this is just Stage 1 of my process.

If you want to design with more structure, more confidence, and less guessing —

Most interior designers think their work should speak for itself.

It doesn’t.

Because before anyone understands your work — they see your brand.

And that moment?
It decides everything.

Your personal brand is not just “posting pretty interiors.”
It’s the reason:
• clients trust you before talking to you
• your projects feel more expensive
• people remember you instead of scrolling past
• opportunities come to you — instead of you chasing them

I built mine from scratch.
No audience, no connections — just intention.

And it changed everything.

From working locally
to attracting international clients
to creating income beyond design services

Same skills.
Different positioning.

There are designers better than you who stay invisible.
And designers worse than you who are fully booked.

The difference?

They are seen.
They are felt.
They are remembered.

Your brand is not extra.
It’s the thing that makes your work valuable in the first place.

If you’re still treating it like a “nice addition” —
you’re leaving opportunities on the table.

And honestly… that’s on you.

Design isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it actually works.

When I create space planning, I don’t place random dimensions.
I already think about real solutions: bathtubs, showers, faucets — what’s actually available on the market and what I’m going to use.

Because good design starts way before visuals.
It starts with understanding materials, fixtures, and their exact dimensions.

That’s how you create spaces that are not only beautiful, but also make sense in real life. ✨

Space planning isn’t just about layouts — it’s about knowing exactly what you’re designing with.

Understanding dimensions, types of sinks, faucets, and toilets already at this stage changes everything. It allows you to plan with intention — not guess later.

This is part 01 — key measurements and essentials.
Next: showers & bathtubs.

The first option is exactly what the client wanted — deep chocolate tones mixed with soft pastel blue. And honestly… these colors just love each other.

But I couldn’t stop there.
I pushed it a little further, played with textures, added a few unexpected layers… just to see how far it could go.

I guess I can’t help myself — I always want to find a more interesting version.

Which one would you choose?

Creating functional layouts is one of my favorite parts of the design process.

This is the stage where we explore how a space can truly work for the person who lives in it. By developing several layout concepts, I can show my clients different ways they could live in their home — different flows, different priorities, different possibilities.

Behind every layout there are many layers of thinking: installation constraints, structural limitations, ergonomics, and the everyday habits of the client. This stage often defines the entire project, because once the layout works, the rest of the design can naturally follow.

It’s also the part of design I love teaching. I work both with clients on their projects and with designers who want to learn how to create stronger, more creative layouts and understand the principles behind them.
