Describe your go-to style:
My go-to style is a refined blend of Scandinavian and Japandi aesthetics—minimal, warm, and deeply connected to nature. I love working with clean lines, organic textures, and a muted, earthy palette that creates a sense of calm and balance. Functionality is just as important as aesthetics, so I always aim for designs that feel effortless yet intentional, where every element serves a purpose. Natural materials like wood, linen, and stone play a big role in my work, bringing warmth and authenticity to each space. It’s all about simplicity, harmony, and timeless elegance.
What drives you to design?
What drives me to design is the ability to create spaces that evoke a sense of harmony, comfort, and well-being. I believe that our surroundings have a profound impact on our emotions and daily lives, and I’m passionate about crafting interiors that feel both functional and serene. Inspired by Scandinavian and Japandi aesthetics, I strive to balance minimalism with warmth—designing spaces that are simple yet inviting, natural yet refined. Seeing how thoughtful design can transform the way people experience a space is what truly fuels my creativity and passion.
From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
I draw most of my inspiration from nature, architecture, and everyday simplicity. The organic forms, textures, and colors found in nature deeply influence my design approach, guiding me toward materials that feel authentic and timeless. I’m also inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design principles—how they embrace minimalism, craftsmanship, and the beauty of imperfection. Travel, art, and traditional craftsmanship play a big role as well, offering new perspectives on how spaces can be both functional and soulful. Ultimately, I find inspiration in the quiet details—soft light filtering through a space, the texture of aged wood, or the perfect balance of negative space.
