Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?
I wanted to challenge myself with a design completely different from how I designed my childhood home. This is my first time living in a new city and in my own space. I was inspired by my love for fun vintage, colorful items. What makes my space unique is how functional it is. Each major area is designated by a rug, curtain, wall, or room divider so the space is made for a clear purpose!
How does your home reflect you?
My space is a homage to my immigrant, single mother who grew up very poor and is the most resourceful person I know. She sewed all my baby clothes and repurposes things like string and yogurt containers. I learned to use what I have in unconventional ways and for dual purposes, especially when it comes to living in an open floor plan. I also found the beauty in secondhand items and vintage pieces.
