ARTIST  STATEMENT

In my artistic practice, I engage in the creation of sketches that delve into the realm of interior design, envisioning and conceptualizing how spaces can be transformed into aesthetically pleasing and functional environments. What draws me to this mode of expression is rooted in my inherent inclination towards creativity; every activity I undertake for enjoyment is imbued with a sense of imaginative exploration. I take immense pride in the art of designing and decorating spaces, as it feels like a natural extension of my existence.

My approach involves a process of absorbing knowledge and experiences from other designers, with a particular focus on the essential role of furniture in shaping a space. Inspired by visionaries such as Frances Knoll, Marcel Breuer, and the Bauhaus movement, I break down the design process room by room, infusing each space with carefully chosen art, texture, and thoughtfully chosen knick- knacks.

While utilizing tools like InDesign and Photoshop, my primary instruments remain tracing paper and pencil for a more detailed representation. Leveraging platforms like Pinterest and SketchUp, I seek to convey the belief that design is more tangible than commonly perceived. Through my work, I aim to demonstrate that creating a beautiful and livable space is not only achievable but can also be realized within practical constraints, showcasing the transformative power of thoughtful design.
