The Spark of Inspiration
Hilda’s professional journey ignited in 2015, where she initially dabbled in non-profit organizations, newspaper media, and exhibition organizing. However, it was during the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic that she discovered her true calling in interior design. “As the world slowed down, I took a moment to reflect and recognized the robust growth of the interior design market.

Crafting the Perfect Partnership
When asked about her ideal theme song for a partnership with a client, Hilda enthusiastically suggests “We Are the Champions” by Queen. “Every project is a journey, and the ultimate goal is to create a winning partnership. With every transformed space, we celebrate not just the design but the shared triumphs between us and our clients,” she chuckles.

For Hilda, every design project begins with a deep understanding of the client’s needs. “Good design is more than aesthetics; it encompasses functionality and branding,” she explains. By blending these elements, Hilda guides her clients to create iconic spaces that not only elevate their company’s image but also enhance their operational efficiency. This philosophy underscores the idea that thoughtful design can have a profound impact on a business’s success.
Inspired by History
Among the many projects that have defined Hilda’s career, one stands out distinctly in her memory. “I had the honor of working on a site with historical significance in Indonesia—the location of the country’s first satellite, a project designed by an American architect in 1969,” she reveals. This experience opened her eyes to the enormous potential of interior design as a means to honor the past while looking to the future.
Hilda’s insights into this project reignited her passion for her work and reaffirmed her commitment to taking on projects that leave a lasting legacy. “It reminded me that what we design can transcend the present and shape the future,” she reflects.
