About
Hello, I am Dots Tan. I am a freelance Interior Designer specializing in Residential Design. I love designing with clean lines and neutral colors.I believe in designing functional and comfortable spaces for the users. I help clients discover and implement their desired look tastefully but also thinking about design maintenance and durability. I consult with them and create a relationship that will further help in understanding what they want and need and helping them visualize through Concept boards, Swatch boards, Schematic Drawings and 3d Renderings.
I dabbled a little in Sales and Event Styling before focusing on freelancing. I learned a lot in creating relationships with different kinds of people which helps me in dealing with clients up till now, therefore giving me opportunities such as designing Restaurants, Commercial Spaces, Houses, Condominiums Units and even Government projects.
I am proficient in AutoCad, 3d through Google SketchUp, 3d Renderings through Kerkythea. I design spaces creatively but also paying attention to technical details such as Joineries, Specifications, Lighting and Custom Furniture design that can make any space personal for the users.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from University of Sto. Tomas. And was a licensed Interior Designer since October 2012. -
