From Systems to Spaces
With a foundation in Computer Science from MIT and architectural theory from Berkeley’s [IN]ARCH program, I bring a unique perspective to home design—one that balances aesthetics with functionality, and beauty with purpose.
My experiences leading product teams in Silicon Valley have shown me that the best solutions arise from a harmony of creativity and practicality. I bring that same lens to every interior design project, keeping an eye on both your vision and aspirations as well as the real-world constraints we’re working within.
Physical space affects mental space.
Your home can be a steadying force amid life’s demands. When a space is organized, open, and thoughtfully appointed, it has a ripple effect on how you work, relax, and connect with others.
Organized
Find clarity in every corner. Functional storage solutions and decluttered spaces create harmony, ensuring every item serves a purpose and every space feels effortless to use.
Optimized
Make the most of what you have. By rethinking layouts, maximizing flow, and integrating systems tailored to your needs, we make your homes practical yet beautiful. Small spaces feel expansive, and every square foot serves your lifestyle.
Personalized
A home that tells your story. Your home should reflect your unique personality and values. We craft spaces that feel intentional, meaningful, and completely yours—designed to enrich the way you live.
Design decisions can unlock life decisions.
We shape our environments, and then our environments shape us. When your home is thoughtfully designed, it reduces friction, giving you the mental bandwidth to pursue your passions more freely.
Live with intention
From hobbies to relationships, your home can inspire the things you love most.
Host effortlessly with tableware and board games within easy reach.

What Inspires Me
1. Diverse Design Traditions
My design approach is deeply influenced by a blend of architectural styles:
Bauhaus: functional aesthetics and clean lines
Scandinavian: minimalist elegance and a focus on natural materials
Japanese: harmony with nature
Mid-Century Modern: timelessness and integration of indoor and outdoor spaces
These styles collectively inform my commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and serene.
2. The Timeless Way of Building
Christopher Alexander's The Timeless Way of Building profoundly shapes my design philosophy. It emphasizes creating environments that feel alive and comfortable by understanding and applying human-scale patterns that reoccur across different cultures and historical periods.
This approach guides me in crafting spaces that resonate with the essence of life and human experience.
3. The Essence of California Living
I draw inspiration from the Bay Area’s unique architectural landscape and climate:
Architectural Diversity: From charming bungalows to serene Japanese gardens and hillside homes offering breathtaking views, the region's architecture is a rich tapestry of styles.
Climate: The mild temperatures and short, cozy rainy winters encourage designs that blend indoor and outdoor living, fostering a seamless connection with nature.
Life here encourages a balance of indoor-outdoor flow, a respect for nature, and a laid-back functionality. I aim to integrate those qualities into every design.
