I am a art and design lover. I live in art and breathe design. Fueled by this passion, I absorbed everything there was to learn at the Fashion Institute of Technology and graduated to become a fashion designer in New York City for more than ten years. It also transformed my designing experience into my true calling of fashioning the interiors of apartments and homes in New York City. The combination of my fashion design background created a unique backdrop for my interior spaces to convey a style of a tailored-eclectic-modern -coziness. Living in New York City allowed me to truly respect all the square footage you may have to reside in. Compared to the rest of the country, New York City apartments and houses are small. However, it's in these bite size apartments and houses, I have discovered you can create grand style. I love transforming these city dwellings into an open, functional, graceful, stylish home. With artfully and calculated planninga 300 sqft home could give you everything you need and more. This is the kind of designer I am. I treat every square footage like gold. It is my pleasure to take on the responsibility of conveying your true function, style, and comfort into whatever square footage you may have. - Akhira N. Ismail-
