With a visual communicator specializing in architecture, lighting, and interiors

My interest in architecture, interiors, and photography began in 2016, when I worked at a heritage site in Hong Kong where historic buildings were combined with contemporary architecture by Herzog & de Meuron. During the five years I worked there, I became fascinated by how light moved through the spaces and how different materials interacted. Photography became a way for me to capture those relationships.

That experience trained my eye for the balance between old and new, and it still influences how I think about structure, proportions, and materials when creating my own home. The harmony between cultural heritage and contemporary design is something I always try to bring into my surroundings.

Photography and interiors are closely connected because both are about composition, atmosphere, and storytelling. Photography lets us interpret a space through our own perspective, making the experience highly subjective and personal. What we choose to frame and highlight often reveals what we find meaningful or beautiful.

A space can strongly reflect the personality of the person who lives there. The objects, materials, artworks, and furniture we choose, as well as how we arrange them, tell something about our interests, lifestyle, and character. In many ways, a home becomes a visual narrative of a person’s journey, where memories, experiences, and personal history leave their marks.

Light plays a crucial role in how a room is perceived. I don't consciously use lighting to create a specific mood in my home. Instead, I let the light help shape my experience of the space. Depending on the time of day and the character of the light, the same room can feel calm, warm, lively, or even dramatic.

I believe light has a special ability to reveal the different moods present in a room, and in many ways it can also reflect our mental and emotional state. The way we experience light often shapes both how we connect to our surroundings and how we feel within them.

When I began my collaboration with VETRO, I became curious about the history behind Murano glass and immersed myself in its long tradition of craftsmanship. What fascinates me most is the craftsmanship behind the lamps. Each lamp is mouth-blown and handmade, which makes every single one truly unique.

The VETRO lamp fits naturally into my home because my aesthetic is very personal and built on the stories objects carry. Every item in my home has its own story, and the lamp adds another meaningful layer to that collection.

I rely on glasses in my everyday life, and I have always been drawn to handmade Japanese glasses. To me, they are small works of art.

They are not mass-produced, and each pair bears the imprint of the human craftsmanship behind them. Many are made to order, and it is not uncommon for several months to pass before they are finished. It is precisely that time, care, and precision that make them both functional and meaningful. Function is essential, but it is the way they are made that gives them their special value.

In the balance between function and craftsmanship, they become more than just everyday objects.
