Professional Profile
Interior design is not just about creating beautiful spaces but about improving the quality of life for the people who inhabit them. I strive to combine functionality with aesthetics to create an inspiring and comforting environment. I love transforming ideas into reality and experiencing the resulting joy.
Pursuing a career in Interior design has given me the chance to express myself and explore new possibilities. The earliest memories of my creative journey are filled with vivid images of crayons, markers, and paintbrushes. I would spend hours lost in my world, creating stories through drawings and paintings.
I’ve realized that creativity is a gift that keeps giving. It’s a source of endless possibilities, joy, and fulfillment.
My
Story
About me
As a child, I aspired to be many things, but an Interior Designer was never on my list. Ironically, I often found myself watching HGTV with my mom, rearranging my bedroom furniture at 2 am, and sketching my dream house, yet I never considered a career in design. I have a warm personality and cherish spending time with my family, as I believe building those special connections is essential. My passion for residential design stems from my desire to create spaces where people can feel comfortable and truly be themselves, which brings me immense joy.
I began my journey with a home staging company as an intern, and now I proudly work there full-time. Pursuing interior design has been one of the most fulfilling decisions I’ve made—it’s given me the opportunity to express my creativity, showcase my personality, and grow both professionally and personally.
Behind the name Studio 13
The number 13 has always held significance in my family. Many consider it an unlucky number; to me, it carries a deeper meaning. In sports, we often had the option to choose our numbers, and I naturally gravitated towards 13. My brother embraced it first, and I admired him, wanting to follow in his footsteps. Now, years later, I’ve established Studio 13 as a brand for my work.
