As an aspiring professional in the field of design, particularly in Interior Design, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my upbringing. Throughout my life, I developed a keen eye for design and have harbored a lasting passion for this creative realm. My journey has involved constantly rearranging my own space and actively assisting my mother in her projects, fueling my desire to pursue a career in interior design. I am a versatile and diligent individual, characterized by exceptional imaginative prowess and a keen sense of visual awareness and proportion. Proficient in the Adobe Suite, I leverage my technical skills to complement my innate design sensibilities, ensuring a well-rounded approach to the craft.
