i believe the spaces we tenant have a strong influence on our happiness. whether we know our own style or not, the objects we engage with and places we inhabit subtly affect our thoughts and feelings. this is why i think design is important, because it involves human emotion. my design interests include residential renovation and new construction, interior design, furniture design and art. i wish to create lasting ideas which use resources thoughtfully.
