ABOUT ME
"A DESIGNER IS A PLANNER WITH AN AESTHETIC SENSE." — BRUNO MUNARI
Iam
A DESIGNER
When I say designer, that means more than one thing to me. It means pleasing the eye. Whether that means through digital designs or DIY home projects. One thing I love to do is draw homes on paper. I've done that since before I got my certificate degree as an Interior Decorator. Later, I began to visualize things in a different format. I find digital design fun as well. Creating full wrap covers is a fun experience. It all comes back to upcycling shelving, drawing what I envision homes to be, and workable floor space from homes I've had dreams about. Visualization.
