INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
Interior architecture refers to the design and planning of interior spaces within buildings. It involves the manipulation of spatial volume, layout, functionality, and the integration of various design elements to create a cohesive and functional environment. Interior architects work closely with architects and engineers to ensure that the interior spaces not only look aesthetically pleasing but also function efficiently and adhere to building codes and regulations. Interior architects are often involved in designing structural elements, spatial layouts, lighting, acoustics, and other elements that contribute to the overall experience and functionality of the interior space.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior design focuses on the aesthetics and functional aspects of interior spaces. It involves selecting and arranging furniture, fixtures, materials, colors, textures, and other design elements to create a visually appealing and functional environment. Interior designers work to enhance the ambiance and atmosphere of a space while also considering the needs and preferences of the occupants. They take into account factors such as the client's lifestyle, budget, and the purpose of the space to create a well-balanced and harmonious interior that aligns with the client's vision.
INTERIOR DECOR
Interior decorating is a subset of interior design that primarily involves the arrangement and selection of furnishings, accessories, colors, and decorative elements to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space. Interior decorators focus on adding the finishing touches that bring a room together and reflect the client's personal style. While interior decorators may not necessarily be involved in architectural changes or structural considerations, they play a crucial role in creating a cohesive and visually pleasing interior through the strategic placement of decorative items, textiles, artwork, and more.

APP CRUSH
It all begins with an idea.
As a creative and designer, I am always looking for ways to draw more inspiration and stay organized. I find that Pinterest allows me to accomplish both of these objectives and so much more. In addition to sourcing amazing styles and pieces from my preferred vendors, I love that Pinterest offers visual inspiration and aesthetic organization. Pinterest is essentially the cherry on top of all the crucial internal servers and tools that I use to manage my projects. Each client of mine has their own unique taste and style so my goal is to bring this to life. My vision is to create a welcoming and warm space via colors, textures, and an overall flow that makes coming home just that more inviting and relaxing.
