What does design mean to you?
I believe interior designs meaning lies in making space an extension and vessel for people. Its not just aesthetic presentation, more fundamentally, its transforming clients vague design ideas into tangible reality through our collaboration. From style preferences to functional expectations, from lifestyle habits to emotional needs, designers use professional communication and interpretation to make abstract ideas concrete, ensuring clients dream homes dont remain just imagination.
What was your proudest project in 2025?
My proudest project was winning the Home Journal Awards 2025 Gold Award. Id always thought 300-plus square foot spaces were inevitably cramped and difficult to work with. Only after hands- on transformation did I realize small spaces can unleash enormous potential—the final result was wonderfully surprising. This project didnt disappoint: by removing partition walls, reconfiguring the living room and kitchen into an open layout, and incorporating built-in custom storage systems that hide clutter without occupying precious space, every corner found its rightful place. Whether the cooking nook or the living-dining relaxation area, the overall planning was perfectly balanced without waste.
What habits keep your creativity alive?
For me, watching films is never just leisure—its a “charging station” for creative inspiration. Those on-screen details subtly nourish my interior design creativity, becoming invisible references for deconstructing needs and constructing spaces. While watching, I pay special attention to how scenes use color, lighting, and materials to echo narrative atmosphere: soft sofa fabrics and warm pendant lights in heartwarming family dramas teach me to interpret “comfort” through texture; minimalist office layouts in urban workplace dramas inspire me to optimize small space zoning; even suspenseful films use of light and shadow to create depth can transform into “hidden storage” and “split-level layout” ingenuity in my designs.
More importantly, life scenes in films help me deeply understand “user needs.” Seeing protagonists curled up reading in a corner or planting on a terrace reminds me designs must accommodate “solitary corners” and “hobby spaces.” Warm scenes of large families gathered around dining tables remind me when planning dining areas to consider spatial interaction and cohesion. Take Bong Joon-hos Parasite—the mansion scenes were meticulously constructed specifically for the film. Those details repeatedly refined by the director, from furniture placement angles to wall art selection, profoundly showed me the importance of attention to detail.
