My obsession with art and design inspired me to pursue Interior Designing after my Post — graduation in Earth sciences just to brush up my creativity and thus learning functional design techniques. But I BELIEVE just learning How-To-Design is not enough. Space should be ecologically sound at-least to some extent, And that’s where Obsidian Space came up.
