STATEMENT OF ART:
I believe we can live in inspiring contemporary bathroom spaces. Design has been a cultural formative since the beginning of our world. Design is not about solving problems, but about finely meticulously crafting the built environment. Design is about the poetic, aesthetic, experiential, sensual and emotional healing of our lives. My main desire is for people to join the contemporary world and portray their nostalgia with old traditions in their own spaces.
