Your biggest win?

My aim is to keep evolving in design and meet my clients' expectations. The win happens when the projects I undertake come together, and bring a smile to my clients' faces.

When designing a room, what is the most important factor for you?

The client's need, the space, size, proportion and style. A good design is a blend of all of these factors, all of which are equally important.

What is unique about your design style? How is it different from that of others?

I love to push the envelope with texture, pattern, colours and a particular way of organizing a space. My technique of layering a space and adding humor into my design makes my work different from that of others.

What do you like working on most - residential, commercial or urban landscape projects, and why?

Both residential and commercial projects. I enjoy working closely with my clients and deliver the projects based on their needs and style.
