She is a cultured Oshiwambo girl from Oshivello. She is mostly self-taught, and has completed a few online causes in interior design– in most cases, the ideas come naturally to her at the oddest times.. These courses help me understand the history of interior design and the science behind colours, textures, patterns etc,” she says. The guru of interior design loves clean, crisp lines, a simple neutral and airy colour palette and the use of natural materials. “So, I would say my style is a balance between modern, contemporary and minimalist design styles,” she says.

A design that is sleek, zero clutter with a dose of a personal touch,” she says. Darren Palmer is her favourite designer as she resonates with his design style. “It’s not pretentious and we both draw our inspiration from nature,” she says.
