Design Philosophy
In the early 1990s, my dad traveled to Washington, DC to visit his aunt and uncle. During his trip, my dad found his love for architecture. In 2007, I had to create a poster about what I wanted to be when I grew up and share it with my third-grade class. I knew immediately I wanted to do something involving design; however, I didn't know what kind of design. After years of watching and hearing my dad work and seeing how he enjoyed creating breathtaking buildings and homes for other people, I knew I wanted to do something similar. Although instead of designing the buildings, I wanted to do something with the inside of buildings. At the beginning of my junior year of high school, I confidently declared interior design as the career I wanted to pursue.
When I design, I strive to create a comfortable and memorable place for clients. Besides interior design, I am extremely passionate about giving, and I strive to give clients a comfortable place they will never want to leave, like my friend Cobe. Cobe hardly leaves her bed because it is, and I quote, "The most comfortable thing to exist." I want clients to feel that about the spaces I create for them. Plush seating and a memory foam mattress are great ways to add comfort to a room, but I aim to add comforting colors, textures, shapes, etc. When a client walks into a room I designed, I want the client to feel immediate comfort and solace.
Something I love to do during my free time is visit my great-aunt at her house. Every time I walk through her front door, I am instantly welcomed with wonderful memories, and it brings a smile to my face; I want to create the same thing for my clients. One of my major focuses when I design is creating a memorable place; I want the space to have a piece of the client in it that will make it feel special and unique, whether it is a large, abstract structure to be used for a kitchen island or a simple, asymmetrical collage of photographs to be used as a conversational piece. To make the space unforgettable, I strive to design around a client's treasured piece or create a signature piece based on the client.
My goal with my designs is to create a special space a client can find solace in. The spaces I design for clients will be memorable and create their own sense of comfort. Every space I design will be different from the next, which makes each space incomparable.

I think that your design philosophy really says a lot about you as a person. Instead of just wanting to design a space that looks cool, you want that space to be your client's favorite place and to make them feel comfortable and welcomed. I think that finding the perfect balance between style and comfort is what we all strive to do as designers.
