Light and Shadow

Interior Design

Growing up in a society that expected one to be an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer, thinking of myself as an artist, much less a designer, was a non-starter. However, the need to create existed in the same place as the need to be free in my expressions. Through many twists and turns, failures and successes, I found myself working towards being an interior designer. It has been exciting and challenging trying to see where I fit in and my design style. Through this, one thing has become apparent; nothing exists in solitude as everything works in symbiosis. Light and shadow, losses and wins, unlearning and learning, clarity and doubt; the point is to keep trying.
