Behind the Studio

Born in Shanghai and raised in Southern California, I’ve always lived somewhere between instinct and structure: part creative, part researcher, and deeply drawn to the details that make a space feel right.

With a BFA in Interior Architecture & Design from CSULB, I’ve learned that the best spaces are never just about looks. They come from intuition, discipline, and the kind of behind-the-scenes precision that holds everything together.

I’m an interior designer who lives in the data, the spreadsheets, and the technical details others tend to overlook. My philosophy is simple: we don’t need more stuff, we need better curation. I believe in honest materials, essentialism, and creating homes that feel personal without feeling crowded.

I’m not here to build a showroom. I’m here to build a home that makes sense for the way you live.
