I’m looking to elevate a mix of residential, commercial, and public-use interiors and need a designer who can turn strong conceptual thinking into practical, elegant spaces. Functionality is my top measure of success, so every choice—from the overall space planning to the smallest lighting detail—must serve how people actually live, work, or gather in the room. The brief • Spaces involved: residential, commercial, and public areas • Core emphasis: functionality that never sacrifices aesthetics • Key elements to refine: space planning, lighting design, and colour schemes What I expect 1. Concept development that clearly explains the design story and intended user experience. 2. Detailed floor plans or zoning diagrams showing efficient circulation and smart furniture placement. 3. A lighting strategy that layers ambient, task, and accent light to enhance both mood and utility. 4. Harmonised colour palettes with material suggestions that feel balanced and purposeful. 5. A concise presentation package (PDF or similar) that ties everything together and can be shared with stakeholders. If you have a strong academic foundation, an eye for meaningful detail, and a portfolio that proves you can marry beauty with usability, I’d like to see how you would approach this project.
