I am an independent interior designer and sourcing specialist with a strong focus on Design-to-Manufacturing and Cost Control.
Unlike designers who only focus on visual renderings, I specialize in bringing designs to life. Based in China's core manufacturing hubs (Guangzhou/Foshan), I possess a comprehensive understanding of the entire supply chain.
My expertise covers everything from indoor to outdoor spaces, and from hard finishes to soft furnishings. I have deep knowledge of local manufacturing processes and material properties across a vast range of categories, including furniture, homewares, outdoor furniture, lighting, board materials , kitchen cabinetry, tiles, stone, and sanitary ware.
My ultimate goal is simple: To achieve the best "value-for-money" by balancing aesthetics and budget. Through precise factory coordination, manufacturing process control, and smart material substitutions (Value Engineering), I guarantee your design is delivered perfectly without breaking the bank..
- Production Feasibility & Factory Coordination: Act as the bridge between your design concept and the factory. I serve as your technical interpreter and liaison, translating your design intent into clear, actionable instructions for factory engineers. I review drawings, coordinate production processes, and resolve technical disagreements to ensure the factory accurately executes your vision. Furthermore, I propose smart material substitutions that strictly maintain the design aesthetic while significantly reducing manufacturing costs—maximizing the ROI on your design.
- Global Sourcing & Procurement: On-site factory inspections in Guangzhou/Foshan, material auditing, dimension verification, price negotiation, and supplier management. Every piece of furniture and material is carefully vetted to match your quality and budget requirements, while strict project management ensures on-time delivery.
- Interior Design & Space Planning: Providing layout planning, 3D renderings, and practical FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) selection tailored to real-world spaces and budgets.
- End-to-End Project Coordination: Handling orders, auditing quotes, tracking sampling, coordinating international logistics, and ensuring on-time delivery.
