"My path to becoming an architect and founding my own business was not a conventional one… it was a journey marked by chaos and mistakes. I'd describe my adventurous spirit as defiance. I feel defiant against our industry's "best practices", which are typically tailored for large-scale, commercial projects. I believe there's room to revolutionise these standards to support smaller-scale projects that design spaces to be more unique and adaptable for real homeowners and families. Nobody's managed to do it yet… so why shouldn’t we be the ones to do it?"
