"Founder at SnapDecor — making interior design accessible with AI"
I've always been passionate about making beautiful spaces accessible to everyone. Interior design has traditionally been expensive and exclusive — a service only available to those who could afford a professional. I wanted to change that. SnapDecor uses AI to help anyone visualize and design their space affordably and quickly. The journey has been challenging — learning product, tech, and business simultaneously — but every step has confirmed that this problem is real and worth solving.
