Occupation - observer.
Interior design appeared in my life is not accidental. Father was engaged in public interiors, designed clubs, shops and childhood took me to the objects. I do it like crazy: the smell of wood, paint, huge space. Design can not be learned. Thus it is possible to learn every day. The most powerful teacher - nature: natural combination of colors and textures. For me, contemplation - adrenaline. Always catch myself. that even during the most exciting film is able to completely disconnect from the intrigue, began to consider the interiors.
Customers are often afraid of change. As a rule, my idea of beauty and customer perceptions of beauty are at opposite poles. I can not in matters of taste to compromise. It is easier for the money to open a pastry shop, but retain the ability to do what they love without conditions.
