Consequently, she has adapted this attitude in her design philosophy, executing her work with precision, clearly translating the client’s needs into a fine design. She is avidly seeking a position with a firm that integrates holistic design and seeks to continuously deliver exemplary results.
"My goal is for Interior Design to assimilate nature.
Just as nature becomes a enveloping shelter for its creatures, interior design becomes a beautifully designed shelter for its inhabitants." KARLA
