About

As a designer, Joel has always went against the current, straying away from the norms and finding his own unique and creative personality in his designs. Joel's passion for designing buildings stemmed from his studies in Interior Architecture and Design. (IAD) In 2017, Joel faced shortcomings and met a disappointing failure where his results did not meet his expectations. On the brink of giving up, Joel was introduced to design software where he learnt and thrived in the following semester, pulling his GPA up from a devastating 2.6 to a whalloping 3.5. With a better understanding of his new interest and strength in IAD, Joel is more motivated than ever before. Joel feels that using software allows him to better translate his ideas into reality. Showing clients visual representation of mood and atmosphere, helping them understand not only the aesthetic of the space but also the feeling of being in that space. This is his belief. no matter how aesthetic a space is designed to be, without mood, lighting, atmosphere, and feel, the space will be shortchanged and nothing out of the ordinary. Joel works in the sales industry while pursuing his career in Interior Architecture and Design. During his free time, he looks to improve his physical health by hitting the gym, working out up to 4 times a week.
