“To create a memorable design you need to start with a thought that’s worth remembering” – Thomas Manss
In what he says Thomas Manss expresses the feelings of many designers. Every design is individual, but each one is memorable and was born of an idea that held potential just waiting to be realized. Interior designers thrive on sources of inspiration that lead to ideas which culminate in wonderful designs, and these original ideas are the essence of what I do.
This category is a selection of my designs, projects and case studies. Along with articles about events, industry news and all the other odds and ends that I encounter in my professional life, this space is the microcosm of the interior designer’s world in which I move and work.
We interior designers love to create new and inspiring designs that produce interest and attract attention in our world, and I thrive on this vibrant energy. In this collection of articles you will be a witness to how interior designers take an idea and transform it into a real living, working space that often exceeds expectations.
Think back to the statement by Thomas Manss and you will appreciate how every thought that an interior designer has that leads to a design is memorable and deserving of acknowledgement. By sharing my work and my professional life I want you to see my passion for what I do and be inspired to share more with me.
