There’s a quiet magic in the moment a house becomes a home. For me, that magic began in a drafting table corner, where blueprints of bridges and buildings coexisted with late-night sketches of living rooms and kitchens. By day, I calculated loads and spans; by night, I painted visions of cozy nooks and sunlit shelves. It wasn’t just a hobby—it was a calling I couldn’t ignore.
My turning point? The day I transformed my own neglected starter home into a sanctuary that felt like a warm hug. I documented every sweat-streaked step, from reviving faded hardwood floors to reinventing a forgotten attic into a cozy reading nook. When strangers began sharing how my journey inspired their own makeovers, I realized something profound: design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that breathe, endure, and tell your story.
Why I Design (and Why It Matters)
Engineering taught me that strength lies in the unseen—the hidden joints, the calculated angles, the materials chosen with care. But home design? That’s where the heart meets the blueprint. I’m obsessed with proving that beauty and durability aren’t rivals. They’re partners.
Every tutorial I create, every DIY I share, is rooted in this belief: your home should be a reflection of you , built to withstand life’s messes and moments. Whether it’s repurposing weathered steel into a statement light fixture or demystifying drywall repairs with a dash of Scandinavian simplicity, I’m here to show you that practicality and passion can coexist.
So come along as I share the messy, beautiful reality of creating a home that truly fits your life. I’ll walk you through my latest obsession (currently: turning vintage lab equipment into lighting), confess when projects go sideways, and celebrate those perfect moments when everything clicks into place.
A home isn’t built to impress. It’s built to hold your life, beautifully.
