A Bit About Me
As an enthusiastic Junior Designer, I bring a dynamic background shaped by my experiences in private sector organizations, international internships, and a notable cooperative position. Prior to these experiences, I developed a strong foundation in both the creative and technical aspects of design by completing Honours in the Bachelor of Interior Design program at Sheridan College.
With this foundation, I have developed confidence in understanding client needs and have drawn on my multicultural background and unique creativity to broaden my design scope.
For me, interior design is a timeless yet ever-changing medium. I am eager to contribute my problem-solving, innovative ideas, and passion for creating meaningful spaces for any future team I work with.
