Myca De San Jose

Growing up in a medically inclined family background, I anticipated in the future that I would become a healthcare professional. However, my constant intrigue to explore art and design slowly turned into a passion. I decided to study Interior Architecture and Design and undertook creative subjects in pursuing the career I desire. I love to explore various disciplines to broaden my own artistic pursuits. Traveling has always been a huge part of my life. It inspires me to create space that is a reflection of everything I know, under different shapes and emotions. The university has helped me become more comfortable with my capabilities and shaped me to be better. I have always been inquisitive, willing to learn new techniques and procedures to enhance my knowledge and skills.
After a year of experience working in the design industry, it not only equipped me for a role as an interior designer but has also opened many opportunities as a young designer to protect our environment. I seek to bring diversity to my work and focus on building sustainability, comfort for the user, aesthetic longevity, and creating affordable designs.

"Focus on your inner self..." This project helps to enhance the health and wellness of my target audience (the professionals and wellness tourists), caused by work-related stress which is a current global problem. I designed an overnight stay thermal spa experience at Holburne Museum, a Grade 1 listed building located in Bath, United Kingdom. Due to its natural hot spring, this place is known for its rich history of the Roman Bath. The design is inspired by nature, utilising textures, and experimenting with shadows to create the feeling of isolation from reality and acquire harmony in our emotions.
