Their lifelong passion for design and sales began with early memories of their grandfather's study, where the iconic Eames lounge chair held a special place. Those early steps taken around a Noguchi coffee table left an indelible mark on their aesthetic sensibilities. Surprisingly, their true calling as an interior designer revealed itself in a most unexpected manner.
Sitting in an accounting class one day, their mind began to wander to a computer game called The SIM's. This game, centered around building and managing families and communities, became a platform for their creative aspirations. However, their interest diverged from the standard |
gameplay. They became captivated by property layouts, meticulously sketching floorplans on graph paper and crafting homes down to the very last fixture, finish, and piece of furniture.
As the years passed, it became increasingly clear that their heart was set on design, on helping people bring their dream spaces to life, and on providing them with the resources to do so. Since the inception of Koos Design in 2018, they've never looked back. No other job or career has ever felt as right, as thrilling, and as fulfilling as this design journey they're on.
