I design spaces around how the mind and body actually respond to color, texture, and layout, because there's no reason a room shouldn't calm you down or make you smile just by stepping inside.
Design should make your day better, not just make an impression. Too much of interior design chases a big visual statement - moody, dramatic, or visually loud - at the expense of how someone actually feels in the space. Every room, not just the showpieces, deserves to be designed with someone's mood and wellbeing in mind, not just the photo it produces.
Currently contracting with Inner Space Designs — a Seattle-based interior design studio — supporting design development, technical drafting, and project work. Working towards my BAA in Interior Design at Bellevue College.Color is something I think about a lot. Every hue has an effect on how we feel — our mood, our focus, our sense of calm — and I try to make sure those choices are intentional in everything I design.
Bringing nature into a space — through natural materials, plants, daylight — has a real effect on how people feel in it. It's something I try to work into my designs wherever it makes sense.
A space affects you before you conciously notice it — your heart rate, your breath, your sense of ease. That's what I'm really designing for. The goal is always an environment that your body can settle into.
