Who i am
Hello! I am Abigail Wiinamaki, but you can call me Abby. I am currently a Senior at College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, anticipating graduation in May 2025. I am fueled by a passion for interior design that has been with me for as long as I can remember.
I grew up in Metro Detroit. My educational path began at Oakland Community College, where I spent two formative years, studying residential Interior Design, before transferring to CCS. My educational journey has been marked by a dedication to honing my craft and bringing unique design visions to life.
An enduring love for art and the design process is at the core of my creative spirit. I thrive on the endless possibilities that interior design offers, embracing the power to transform spaces into captivating and functional environments.
Design Philosophy
To be a designer is to be a storyteller. I strive to create spaces where people from all backgrounds feel welcome, comfortable, and joyful, through the use of sustainable design thinking, materiality, as well as thoughtful narratives. I believe that great design should strike a harmonious balance between the past and the future, resulting in spaces that are both nostalgic and forward-looking.
What truly drives me is the profound impact a well-designed space can have on people. I am passionate about crafting environments that not only meet the practical needs of their users but also evoke an emotional response. I aim to create spaces that have the power to influence our moods, creativity, and overall well-being.
With a deep-rooted passion for art and design, an appreciation for timeless aesthetics, and a desire to infuse innovation and emotion into every project, my goal is to create interiors that leave a lasting, positive impression.
