Why interior design?
It's my small contribution to make the world a lovlier place on space at a time; to create a beautifully functional environment for my clients.
What is your design style? My personal style is more classically timeless design with sprinkles of sentimental meaning. For my clients, this translates into their individual style and what makes them comfortable in their own environment.
