About me
My passion is in designing large-scale spaces and in promoting synergy between function and aesthetics. I am particularly interested in designs that are visionary or require deeper analysis, e.g., scientific/technological advancement, socio/economic/political relevance, environmental factors, psychological impact or cultural studies/repositioning.
I am currently exploring opportunities for an Interior Designer/Architect role. I envision myself as a Lead Interior Designer or as a Creative Director in the future. Formerly a successful IT professional, I changed career to pursue my personal interest and passion in life.
I am highly-motivated, very well-organised, reliable, attentive to details, technical and artistic. I love travelling and being inspired by designs from all over the world!
