How did you end up in interior architecture?
I decided at six or seven that I wanted to be an architect. I used to build little cities out of books and pencils for my toys. My grandfather was a joiner, so I’d sketch something and he’d make it for me. Later I realized that interior architecture — that human-scale, experiential layer — fits me best.
How do you approach sustainable interior architecture?
I think spaces should be designed to evolve. Nothing should be completely “finished.” Like planting a tree — you leave room for it to grow. The same goes for materials: let them live and change. Natural materials shouldn’t be avoided just because they age — that’s part of their beauty.
What inspires you in architecture or art?
Endless creativity - painting, sketching, building, surprising. I admire that kind of energy that doesn’t fit into one
box and still manages to deeply affect people , even if the reaction is mixed.
How do you deal with a difficult client?
I try to understand why they’re being difficult. Usually there’s a reason behind it. I put myself in their shoes and adjust how I present my ideas so they can see the value in them. Sometimes you just find a middle ground — even if it’s not perfect, at least it’s better than it would’ve been without your input.
Do you trust your intuition in design decisions?
Yes, absolutely. When there are too many options, rational thinking alone can trap you. You need intuition to cut through the noise. The best results come when you let instinct and logic work together.
What are your core working principles?
Freedom — both creative and temporal. If I lose that sense of freedom, I can’t produce good work.
Could you imagine being something other than an interior architect?
Yes, but I still want to be one. This field combines everything I love — thinking, making, connecting with people. Other things I do, just add layers to that.
What inspires or drives you most?
Chaos. When things don’t make sense, I want to make sense of them. From that tension, something new and creative always emerges.
