DESIGN INTERVENTION

The best piece of advice I’ve ever received came during a pivotal moment in my life when I was torn between pursuing my passions in the healing arts through massage therapy and expressing my creativity through visual arts. I sought guidance from an older mentor who posed a profound question: “What’s the struggle?” In that moment, it became clear to me that the true essence of my calling was to create art that not only heals but also contributes to the creation of healthy homes and environments.
