A designer that designs everything from architectural accents and staircases, to any furniture accents, and mechanical and engineering design. I have been approached to design a machine to slaughter cows, but I quoted it very high to make sure not to get the job. I may have the skillset but not the interest.

The idea started when I went shopping for a sofa for our living room. I couldn’t find anything that I really liked. So I ventured into the high-end stores and realized it was more or less the same thing, but 10 times more expensive because it was made in Italy. I ended up not buying any sofa and instead created an Indian floor sitting style lounge area in our living room, which my husband still moans about. Having a toddler, I never worry of him climbing on a sofa and launching himself off like Superman. My best friend, who is also a mother of a toddler, said ” brilliant” at the sight of my living room organization.

My inspiration comes from everything: art, music, the streets, magazines, the internet etc.  I want to design pieces that I like, not necessarily things that will please. I also don’t feel restricted to be branded under any certain style etiquette, leaving me a lot of liberty to create.

David Bowie would be number one, as I really admire how he followed his own road, and allowed himself to change through time and grow.

Then I would say the fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood, for what she stands for and how she made her way to success.

At last ,Tony Robbins, but not for the most obvious reasons. I admire him because of his driving force to constantly learn, to improve, and his hunger to deliver the best instead of settling comfortably in his success. This ATTITUDE is what I wish to model and is the inspiration for my company.

I studied fashion design in college and visual arts in university.  I’ve also taken classes in welding and machining.

No. I wanted to be a ballet dancer, which I reached quite a high level in my teenage years and early twenties. I also had a great interest in fashion design, which studied and worked in for a while, but outgrew.

I really want to create a brand that will have a positive and meaningful impact. Change the world one piece of furniture at the time.

Obviously eco-friendly is the future, but I have also found is that it is quite challenging to come up with certain finishes and stay eco-friendly. The limitation that it imposes forces creativity.

Yes I do. I am planning to launch my first innovative sofa line, and eventually, I would like to create my own appliance line. I have developed new concepts and approaches which will be more environmentally friendly than anything out there at the moment.  It’s Elon Musk innovation.

Yes music does inspire my design.  I will sometimes choose specific songs and music to impact the final design result.

I really would like to have Vivienne Westwood design a line of my sofa covers one day.

My favorite day is Wednesday… Wednesday starts with spinning and yoga, which bring my state of mind to a peak. As the mid-day of the week, I allow myself a lighter schedule, and normally plan all the things I like on that day. Not to mention it’s a school day.

Mainly by exercising. I try to exercise every day if possible. I enter the gym with lots of problems and I walk out with solutions, most of the time.

My greatest achievement is developing the capacity to constantly pick myself up after important challenges and setbacks.

Always thought writing a bio was a bit presumptuous, so I laid it thick.

Long story. Longer name.
