Stick man Jamie, posing with some logs at Kuitpo. Asked him to lift some and walk around so I could get some photos 🤩

12 years in software engineering, then a TAFE diploma, now designing homes in Adelaide that actually have color in them.

She's in Adelaide, does residential, open to commercial. @aishmi_design on Instagram.

[Naina @Naina]

Adelaide as a small market: "Everybody knows everybody. You can play that in your favor." Two years in the industry and she's already being recognized.

[Naina @Naina]

On constraints - budget limits, accessibility, awkward layouts: "The more restriction you have, the more creatively you'll think to work around that."

[Naina @Naina]

Skills carried from 12 years in software: fast tool adoption, time management, client communication. "Everything I'm doing in interior design - software engineering has a role to play in it."

[Naina @Naina]

"You spend 60 to 70% of your time in your house. You need to feel that happiness when you're inside."

[Naina @Naina]

Born in Odisha, grew up in Hyderabad. The career options were doctor, engineer, accountant, or lawyer. She picked software. Worked it for 12 years, made management. Then she was done.

[Naina @Naina]

"The world is going through a beige pandemic." She's against white walls, gray walls, and marble covered in plastic to keep it looking new.

[Naina @Naina]

On color: she's Indian, not scared of it. Most client work involves 3D renders just to show people a bold palette won't ruin their home.

[Naina @Naina]

Her TAFE final project: a home for a client with a degenerative disease - deteriorating eyesight, eventual wheelchair use. She added color, high-contrast surfaces, and made it feel like his home. National award finalist.

[Naina @Naina]

"I love making spaces feel really good. I want to make a house feel like a home." - why she switched to interior design.

Weird things about moving to Australia that no one could have told me about. It's a long list & I'll probably do more parts as they come to me.

One of my favourite movies of all time!

[Warren Faidley @Stormchaser]

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the Twister motion picture release. I was the original technical consultant for the film and supplied the tornado image used for the poster and marketing. I put the money I made from the rights sale away, and ironically, 30 years later I’m finally using those funds to help pay for my PhD in documentary photography. It’s really weird how things progress in life. RIP to Bill Paxton, who was a genuinely nice person. #twister #movie @warnerbros #anniversary #Oklahoma
