green squash design

By Fatima

I nearly failed organic chemistry. My professor used to say that it required an extremely visual mind. He meant a mind that can visualize carbon atoms. And yea, I couldn’t visualize that. But I could, can, and love to visualize physical spaces into simply beautiful ones.

Is it a missed calling? A side hustle? You tell me.

I’m committed to minimalism because less stuff keeps my mind at ease. I won’t buy anything new because I just can’t consume any more in today’s world. Everything you see below is built + designed with rehabbed materials, remnants, and thrift store/craigslist/e-bay finds.
