Dear Lover of Design,
I must confess; that I sometimes feel like an oddball in architecture and interior design. While some designers revel as historical scholars, I lean more towards the touchy-feely artists and therapists. The psychological needs of a person are my driving force when designing space.
On top of being the Studio Principal, I also teach Architecture and AP Art at a private, All-Boys High School. My experience includes working 11+ years in high-end architecture and interiors, 3+ years in teaching/workshops, 5+ years in student housing/community outreach, and 3+ years in graphic design/branding. Shockingly, through word of mouth and collaboration, this studio was founded during the pandemic in 2020.
Hopefully, this reflective letter doesn’t scare you off! If not, then let’s take our napkin sketches to reality. We will leave our egos on the paper and lift our dreams with the pen.
From David Phan, Founding Principal
