Reflections on my creative journey
I embarked on my creative journey about ten years ago. Back then, and even to a large extent today, most homeowners were familiar with only a few ways to use colour on walls: one colour throughout, one colour for common areas with a few different colours for bedrooms and powder rooms, and perhaps an accent wall. For many, the simple idea of a two-tone wall seemed unconventional, even radical. Fortunately, some homeowners were open to my suggestions of adding interest and personality to their homes by using colour creatively within household painting projects.
This initial acceptance was encouraging, and over time, it led me to many more realizations about the possibilities of creativity in decorating.
Today, decorating for me is an artistic process where the client plays the role of a muse, and the walls, along with other interior surfaces, serve as a canvas.
Over the years, I’ve expanded my repertoire to include various bespoke wall treatments, from interior murals and custom patterns to painted architectural details and in situ contemporary art pieces.
Each project is guided by the architecture of the client’s home and inspired by their unique individuality.
I treat the space, with its architecture and furnishings, along with the client's style, memories, and experiences, as one cohesive whole. This approach allows my work to serve as a unifying and harmonizing element, creating outcomes where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
What truly matters to me is the transformative impact on my clients and their homes.
By using colour and design creatively, I aim to help clients express their unique identities and create environments that reflect their personal stories. I hope my designs foster a sense of belonging and connection, turning houses into homes that truly resonate with those who live in them.
The benefits of creative decorating can extend beyond individual homes to the broader community. I aspire to introduce innovative and personalized decorating solutions that inspire others to see the potential in their own spaces, encouraging a ripple effect of creativity and self-expression.
I hope my work helps build a community of homeowners who value individuality and creativity, contributing to a richer, more diverse living environment for everyone.
Ultimately, every project is an opportunity to create a deeper connection between people and their homes, transforming walls into a layer of their individuality.
My journey started with a simple realization, but it has led me to a place where I see endless creative potential and depth. It is my privilege to use this potential to beautify spaces and enrich lives, one home at a time.
