What made you decide to become a designer?
Since I was young, I have always felt that spaces in Hong Kong are small and every inch of land is precious. As I grew older, I hoped to use design to improve the quality of living and elevate the standard of living spaces. Can you tell us more about your design background? Heiman Chan is an interior designer born and raised in Hong Kong, with 10 years of experience in the field. Growing up in this bustling city, he understands that every inch of space is hard-won, gradually cultivating a passion for interior design. In this densely populated place, every design is a new challenge, and every concept requires the integration of different personal ideas and stylistic features. However, as long as he can create a comfortable and practical space, it will bring him a deep sense of satisfaction. He hopes to continue listening to different voices in the future and help people find the blueprint to their vision.
How do you stay inspired and keep coming up with creative ideas? Look for inspiration surroundings, nature, art, music. Keep a journal to capture ideas and inspirations; Continuously learning new things can help spark new ideas and keep my mind stimulated. Creativity is not something that comes naturally to everyone, but it can be developed and nurtured with time and effort. Stay curious, stay open-minded, and keep pushing myself to try new things.
What does good design mean to you? Warmth defines our style. We mainly use warm palettes with different design styles to create warm, comfortable homes. From there we tailor designs styles to suit our clients preferences, habits and spaces to enhance the aesthetics and sense of space.
What is the most challenging thing in your profession? One of the most challenging things in design is to turn ideas into reality.
Please, explain the best project you are most proud of and why. The Sham Tseng Lido Garden project. The owner was running an online vintage store and wanted a vintage vibe for his home too. So, we combined resource material elements and design details with the owner's collection for the perfect vintage look. We used a breeze block feature wall to partition the entrance from the living home, and then ran cement walls and wood elements through the entire house to delineate spaces. Retro-pattern glass was added to doors to complete the style and bring the house together.

What would you say will be future of design?
