Since I was a child, I loved looking at floor plans in apartment advertisements in newspapers and imagining my dream house.
I would design layouts that ensured every family member could live comfortably with a smooth flow of daily activities.
Over time, this passion turned into my profession, focusing on interior design for workplace and high-rise residential projects.
While I enjoy the final result of a project, I particularly love and excel at the initial stages—developing strategies and concepts.
Thinking through the vision and planning at the start is where I find the most excitement and fulfillment in my work.
幼少期、週末の新聞に挟まっている不動産広告の間取図を見るのが大好きで、自分の理想の家を想像していました。
自分だったらこんな間取りの家に住みたいな、家族が快適に生活できる間取りは何かな、と想像を膨らませてはノートに間取りを描いていました。
やがてこの情熱は仕事に変わり、主にオフィスデザインや高層マンションのインテリアデザインに取り組むようになりました。
プロジェクトの完成形を目の前にしたときの達成感はもちろんですが、特に初期段階の戦略立案やコンセプト開発にやりがいを感じます。
最初にクライアントのブランディングに沿ったビジョンを考え、計画を練る時間こそ、私の仕事において最も刺激的で充実感を感じる瞬間です。そしてこれは、インテリアデザインに限らず、様々なデザイン媒体に応用できると信じています。
