Tell us a little about your background in design

I’ve gained most of my experience through self-learning and by working on small projects during the early years of my business. Even today, every project we undertake is an opportunity to learn, grow, and refine our craft. Interior design is a continuous journey, and I believe there is always something new to discover and improve.

How would you describe your personal design style?

The design style leans toward luxury contemporary classic interiors, with a strong emphasis on comfort, elegance, and timeless appeal.

If you could offer one piece of advice when it comes to designing, what would it be?

The keyword is Timeless. I always praise less is more. I wouldn’t recommend approaching heavy designs that suffocate the space from breathing.

How important are The International Design & Architecture Awards?

In addition to celebrating great design, the International Design & Architecture Awards also help to promote the importance of design in shaping the world around us. They showcase the power of design to inspire, transform, and encourage designers to push the boundaries of what is possible. Overall, the International Design & Architecture Awards are an important event in the design industry, both in terms of recognizing excellence and promoting the importance of design as a driver of innovation and creativity.

What projects are you currently working on?

We are currently working on several luxury residential projects, including a number of renovation projects that have been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. While renovations often present unique complexities, they also offer the opportunity to transform existing spaces in remarkable ways. Seeing the final results exceed both our clients’ expectations and our own makes the journey especially fulfilling.

What was your favourite project to work on and why?

I genuinely fall in love with every new project we take on—it’s a never-ending love story for me. I often tell my team, “This is my favorite project,” and then we complete it and begin another, which quickly becomes my new favorite. Every project has its own story, challenges, and character, making each one a unique and rewarding experience.

What was your most challenging project to work on and why?

Renovation projects are always the hardest, as you never know what to expect behind those walls.

Which products/services could you not live without when designing? E.g. Lighting companies, furniture companies

Definitely Autocad from the softwares, and the fabric swatches and material trays from the tangible products.

What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?

Personally, I have always aimed to make a positive change wherever I go, whether with projects we work on or through the posts we share. Thus, I aim to have our office be one of the most inspirational Interior Design Studios in the region and globally.
I love designing residential projects, and we will keep on focusing on that, but we are also focusing on growing more in the commercial sector. We are always expanding our team to accommodate the high demand for our services.
