When I think of furniture, comfort naturally comes to mind. Furniture is woven into daily life, blending into the mundane while quietly shaping how we move through our days. Expected to support us, furniture becomes a form of livelihood, holding multiple layers and narratives. While furniture is the final outcome and the object we physically interact with, design, to me, is the thinking and process that leads to that final visual result. Design is logical and digestible, meant to be accessible and intentional. Careful thought goes into layout, form, and composition, whether the work is two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Visual language allows us to communicate universally. It creates shared understanding and connection, something deeply human.

My life experiences have shaped the way I understand these ideas. I would not be who I am without them, as they have given me a perspective that is curious, inclusive, and empathetic.

Furniture design brings together visual language, function, and comfort to create pieces that enhance everyday life. Material choice is just as important, playing a critical role in bringing designs fully into being.
