Designer Diaries - Phuong Mai

Today we get hear from our amazing intern Phuong Mai.

1)      What is your favorite BHD project (either that you have worked on or not)?

My favorite project is Canopy Baltimore! The material choices convey a sense of coziness inside and really enhance the beautiful views outside. Also love the color combinations and the amount of details involved. Chef’s kiss!
