Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

I think of design all day, every day. Design is something that is a part of my life. Walking along the street, nature inspires me. Appreciating art, reading poetry, experiencing unique cultures and philosophy and listening to the life experience of others also helps to inform my design.

Are you looking forward to following any new design trends this year?

Design trends are usually followed by new technological developments. I would like to be on top of the new technologies that lead to more sustainable products. Over all, I think they contribute to the increased well-being and happiness of residents and guests.

What should a client expect from you should they choose you as their interior designer?

I strongly believe that the design of a space should reflect that space’s culture, location and time. Today, many designs are “cookie cutter” without showcasing the special environment they are a part of. My designs are always simple, sophisticated, inspiring, stylish, warm, inviting and elegant, and they always reflect a true sense of place and time while remaining “timeless.”

TREE presents the Roadie Collection, a line of fun and eco-friendly traveling furniture. The clever brand brings ‘Roadie’ a double meaning with our favorite piece from the collection: the mobile mini bar.

Crafted with 100% FSC certified teak wood, the mini bar sports unique colors and textures that can only come from reclaimed wood. An aluminum frame brings some edge to the earthy piece, while lockable wheels make sure your party doesn’t roll away.

Cheers.
