Hi! I'm Lui, an architect and interior designer with a background in fashion and product design. I work with a New York design studio, designing homes and commercial spaces. I believe good design is everywhere and it has the power to transform the way we experience every day. Here at The Interiorist, we talk about all things design: interiors, architecture, and how thoughtful, beautiful spaces can be part of real life. Whether you're decorating your first apartment or dreaming up your forever home, this is a place where good design feels approachable, personal, and doable. Good design isn't about having more, it's about choosing well.
