Have any design professionals worked on this space? I am a graphic designer, but I'm the only one who has worked on this space.

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

I have lived in this space for almost 12 years now, and it's gone from being filled with items I inherited or trash picked/found at garage sales to being some combination of that and items I've painstakingly curated over time. My landlord and I did a remodel of the main living space and he let me design it. What I love most is the three outside walls so that I have lots of windows.

How does your home reflect you?

My home is a complete extension of myself. My brain is creative and chaotic but thrives with order. I think my space feels that way too; it's often torn apart, but everything has a place to go, and those places are thoughtfully chosen to make it easy to access everything I use. I have photos and pieces from home, lots of local art, and everything is cozy and colorful. I love it here so much.
