- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve been in the world of interiors for about ten years now, and it’s been a very organic path. I started with visual merchandising, learning how to shape atmosphere and guide the eye. From there I moved into furniture sales and layout planning, where I worked hands-on with clients to build rooms that made sense both functionally and emotionally. Over the years I also spent time restoring antique furniture and working with wood — which taught me craftsmanship, style history, and an appreciation for materials. I’ve done artistic painting, and eventually moved into full-scale commercial and residential interior design. All of that experience blends together in the work I do today. It helped me develop a sharp eye for composition, scale, texture, and how to create a space that truly feels right for the person living in it.
