Being in love with our work is always the key to achieve better results. Are you in love with your job? What do you love the most about being an interior designer?
Absolutely, I am deeply passionate about what I do. My belief that everyone deserves great design drives me every day. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how my work can transform someone’s living space into a place of comfort, beauty, and personal expression.
Do you have a favorite project or a favorite story behind one of your projects?
Every project has its own story, and each client brings something special to the table. While it's hard to choose just one, there was a recent project where we worked closely with a family who wanted a space that reflected their cultural heritage while still feeling modern and welcoming. That collaboration was truly inspiring.
How important is a good chemistry between you and your clients to achieve better results?
Chemistry is essential. Understanding the client's needs, preferences, and lifestyle helps create a space that feels truly personal. I believe in building trust and maintaining open communication throughout the entire process, from concept to completion.

To conquer such a demanding audience, is truly important to be informed about the latest trends on the field. How do you do this?
I stay updated by traveling, reading, and attending design events around the world. This allows me to keep my style fresh and relevant while also drawing inspiration from different cultures and aesthetics.
How would you describe your style? Do you have any personal “signature�
My style is a subtle fusion of East meets West—clean lines, neutral tones, and a touch of eccentricity. I draw inspiration from my Lebanese roots, my time in the Gulf, and my travels, which all influence my use of color, texture, and cultural references.

Everything inspires me—art, architecture, nature, and even everyday moments. I find beauty in the unexpected and try to bring that sense of wonder into my designs.
Is there an international project you’d like to be a part of?
Yes, I’m always looking for new opportunities to work with international clients, whether it's residential, corporate, or cultural projects. The global design scene offers endless possibilities.
Choosing the right piece for a design set might seem an easy task. However, it takes a lot of time and attention to find the perfect match. Which advice do you have for those who do not know how to start a challenge like this?
Start by understanding your own style and what makes you feel comfortable. Don’t follow trends blindly—focus on creating a space that reflects your personality and values.
Which are your favorite brands, those that can never be missing in your projects?
I love working with brands like Boca do Lobo and Delightfull. They offer timeless pieces that blend classic design with modern aesthetics, which aligns perfectly with my vision.
