“Childhood has always been an endless source of inspiration for me — a lens through which I observe, imagine, and create. I believe that thoughtfully designed environments play a crucial role in children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. My work is grounded in an approach that places the child and their needs at the center, with deep respect for the individuality, sensitivity, and natural abilities of every child.”
