I insist that they be transparent and comfortable to ask questions as much as they want, understanding and confidence is key here in my opinion. Also, I am here for them, I am like their advocate if I may, and I will always do my best to make sure that they get what they envisioned for so long.’’

Why ‘Human’ Dimension Design
The name 'Human Dimension Design' was inspired by the influential work 'Human Dimension and Interior Space' by Julius Panero & Martin Zelnik (1979), a cornerstone in the field of interior design. At the heart of our planning skills lies the importance and application of ergonomics, ensuring that every design is both functional and comfortable while being aesthetic.
‘‘During my three years of studying interior design, the part that always kept me the most excited was when I had a sort of blank canvas (space) and I had to assemble this puzzle (layout) out of all the wants and necessities. It was always my favorite challenge: how to make it fit while optimizing the space, keeping it ergonomic, and keeping that first impression (wow) effect in every angle as much as possible.’’ - A.M.
At Human Dimension Design, we place great importance on building strong relationships with our clients. We believe that good chemistry is essential, and we strive to make our clients feel at ease from the very first meeting. Our clients deserve a genuine relationship and approach, not that we know how to do otherwise; and after all they are trusting our expertise fully with all major and minor design elements!
