Everything in Composition
As a graphic designer with a passion for interiors, the connection between the two has always felt natural to me. They’re not separate disciplines but complementary ways of exploring creativity. Sharing interiors isn’t just a visual escape; it’s a reflection of my design philosophy and a chance to engage with a different medium.
Graphic design has shaped how I think about visual storytelling, and the same principles of design naturally extend to interiors. The composition of a space—its proportions, balance, and layers—is no different from crafting a layout or building a brand. Interiors let me work in three dimensions, challenging me to think not only about form and function but also about how design can shape atmosphere and tell a story.
For me, interiors are also deeply personal. They’re a creative outlet that allows me to bring ideas to life in a physical space and explore what it means to live beautifully and intentionally.
When I approach interiors, I lean on the same principles that guide my graphic design. Here are three elements I always incorporate, illustrated through examples from my own studio.
Color and Pattern Play
Graphic design taught me to pay attention to relationships—how colors influence one another, how contrast creates energy, and how repetition creates rhythm. In my studio, those same ideas appear through painted shelves, collected books, patterned textiles, flowers, and objects gathered over time. Individually they may seem unrelated, but together they create a palette that feels personal and cohesive.
Proportions and Balance
Whether I am designing a page or arranging a room, I am always thinking about visual weight. A room needs places for the eye to rest just as much as it needs moments of interest. In my studio, larger elements like the bookshelves, desk, and reading chair create structure, while artwork, lamps, flowers, and collected objects provide layers and movement. The goal is not perfection but balance.
Details That Tell a Story
More than anything, I am drawn to the details that carry stories. The books that have traveled with me from home to home. Objects discovered while wandering through antique shops, bookstores, and markets. Handmade ceramics, photographs, flowers from the grocery store, and small collections that slowly accumulate over the years. These are the things that give a room its personality. They reveal not just how someone wants a space to look, but how they choose to live within it.
Sharing interiors allows me to explore the overlap between graphic design, storytelling, and everyday life. It's another way of practicing visual poetry—paying attention to color, atmosphere, composition, and the details that often go unnoticed. Through these spaces, I hope to invite others to slow down, look closer, and discover the stories hidden in the rooms around them.
