From your ideas to our execution—full commitment at every step.
From your vision into reality
I begin every design with a clear vision, translating ideas into hand-drawn sketches that capture the essence of the concept. These early drafts evolve through layered rendering techniques—using Promarkers to bring depth, vibrancy, and texture. From there, I transition into digital modeling with SketchUp, crafting precise spatial layouts and perspectives. To complete the journey, AI-powered photorealistic rendering transforms concepts into immersive visuals, bridging creativity with technology. This process ensures every detail is considered, refined, and executed with intention.
Modern Elegance: Japanese-Inspired Living and Japandi Dining
A Modern Sanctuary of Comfort and Elegance
Design Approach: Living Room Assignment
British Academy of Interior Design – First Project
For my first assignment with the British Academy of Interior Design, I set out to design a living room that was both visually refined and deeply functional. My goal was to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity, creating a timeless, balanced interior.
Concept and Inspiration
Drawing from Japanese and European influences, I focused on symmetry, natural materials, and calm sophistication. The design balances dark and light tones, structure and softness, modern and traditional elements.
Key Features
The coffered ceiling with wooden beams became the architectural anchor, adding rhythm and depth. To unify the space, wall finishes were matched on both sides of the bay window, creating harmony and flow. The fireplace, framed in the same wood as the mantel and beams, serves as the focal point and heart of the room.
The furniture layout is symmetrical, with two charcoal sofas facing each other to encourage conversation. A round coffee table and soft neutral rug add warmth and balance. Lighting was layered: a brushed gold pendant for luxury, with softer accent lights for atmosphere.
Materials and Palette
The palette combines rich woods, charcoal, soft neutrals, and touches of gold. Smooth wood, soft fabrics, and subtle metallics introduce contrast and texture, ensuring comfort as well as elegance.
Process and Learning
This project taught me the importance of refinement and cohesion—how small adjustments, like aligning beams or balancing wall finishes, can transform a space. Most importantly, I discovered design as a storytelling practice: creating not just a room, but an atmosphere that feels grounded, harmonious, and lived in.
Modern Japandi Dining Room
This dining space embodies a harmonious blend of modern minimalism, natural textures, and quiet sophistication. At its heart is a sleek black dining table, paired with curved wooden chairs upholstered in soft neutral fabric. The balance of sharp lines and organic forms is a hallmark of Japandi design—where Japanese simplicity meets Scandinavian warmth.
I curated this room with intention, ensuring every element felt purposeful. The palette is restrained yet layered: pale oak flooring, crisp white walls, and a soft neutral rug form a calm foundation. Against this backdrop, the black dining table and dark timber fireplace provide depth and anchoring contrast.
Above the table, I selected a geometric pendant light to introduce a modern architectural edge, while expansive windows frame views of greenery, softening the room with natural light and connection to the outdoors. To balance the clean lines, I introduced subtle details—a vase of wildflowers for seasonal character, and a floral artwork above the fireplace to bring in a touch of timeless European refinement. The fireplace itself was kept classic to add warmth and intimacy, transforming the dining area into a welcoming centrepiece of the home.
This design reflects the essence of Japandi living: clean lines, honest materials, and a sense of balance that elevates everyday dining into a moment of calm and connection.
Designer’s Insight:
Great design is never about excess—it’s about restraint, proportion, and atmosphere. Through careful curation of each detail, this project demonstrates how thoughtful choices can transform a dining room into both a sanctuary and a statement.
Alba's Nursery
A Modern Sanctuary of Comfort and Elegance
This nursery was designed as a serene retreat where comfort meets timeless elegance, embodying the warmth and sophistication at the heart of my design ethos. The palette of soft neutrals, layered with rich textures and natural accents, sets the stage for a space that feels both nurturing and refined.
At its center, the crib becomes more than a piece of furniture—it’s the anchor of the room, framed by a flowing canopy that adds a gentle, ethereal quality. The tactile softness of the textiles balances the crisp lines of the cot, creating harmony between structure and warmth.
The oak-toned dresser and woven storage basket bring in natural textures, grounding the design with subtle rustic notes while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. A statement floor lamp and lush fiddle-leaf fig soften the geometry of the space, adding height, life, and organic beauty. On the wall, Alba’s name in sculpted wooden letters personalises the space with understated artistry, while the portrait of a sleeping child reinforces the theme of tranquility and comfort.
Every detail—down to the brass accents, the layered window treatments, and the neutral-toned rug—was considered to strike a balance between function and quiet luxury. This is a room designed not only for rest but for meaningful memories, where modern refinement embraces the tenderness of early life.
The result is a nursery that feels grounded yet graceful—an intimate sanctuary for Alba, and a timeless expression of love through design.
A Sophisticated Soho Flat
A Bachelor's Haven
Design Concept & Approach
Inspired by the client’s profession and lifestyle, the goal was to craft a space that balanced striking aesthetics with functionality—supporting creativity while offering calm amidst the city’s pace.
Maximizing Vertical Space – The flat’s high ceiling presented an opportunity to introduce a mezzanine level, housing both the bedroom and a photography studio. This smart division freed up the main living area, creating openness and flow.
Color Palette & Balance – A refined mix of red, grey, black, and white established both energy and sophistication. Crisp white walls kept the interior bright, layered greys introduced depth, and bold red accents delivered contrast and a dynamic focal point.
Minimalist Aesthetic – Clean lines and uncluttered surfaces established a sleek, contemporary feel—perfectly aligned with a photographer’s artistic mindset.
Functional Layout – An open-plan living area maximized both space and natural light, creating an environment that supports inspiration as well as relaxation.
Multi-Purpose Design – Fold-away workspaces and hidden storage added flexibility, maintaining a seamless aesthetic without sacrificing functionality.
Photography-Friendly Lighting – A layered scheme of soft ambient light and adjustable spotlights ensured the space could shift effortlessly between work mode and quiet retreat.
The Outcome
The final design is a modern urban sanctuary tailored to the dynamic life of a young photographer—bold yet balanced, minimalist yet expressive. The mezzanine optimized vertical space, allowing living and work areas to coexist seamlessly, while the overall layout fostered both creativity and comfort in a stylish, efficient environment. Beyond the interiors, I even managed to create an outdoor space—a private balcony garden that extends the living area, offering a refreshing retreat and a unique perspective of city life.
