“I am always inspired by elements of nature: rock or stone patterns. Indirect & direct applications of light, air, land, water & botanics are reflected in each design. Biophilic design is something I believe in strongly. It is a new consciousness toward incorporating the natural world into our modern & technologically advanced world. This new trend helps connect mankind to their inherent attachment with nature & the well-being received when living & working in these environments that...
... combine nature & technology with contemporary lifestyles. I truly believe in this philosophy & principal in designing & want to give our homes & markets designs to help encourage & support this trend of incorporating nature into our environment more. With each design collection I want to project a sense of artistry and that each design is hand crafted too. My design styling is also inspired from classical and timeless images that I interpret into modern bold ways, combining old world looks & styles with contemporary and exotic effects & layers”.
