Not an architect nor an interior designer… but very much attracted to your sense of style and aesthetics. Also, your eloquence and the genuine presence online. The “put in the work” was the one video that got me subscribed. I rewatched it agin today and feel inspired amidst the fact that I feel a little lost and distracted in life. Thank you!
