Episode 304 with Kimiya Khezri

This episodes’ designer, Kimiya Khezri, resides in Vancouver, BC. We will talk about her schooling and work life as an Interior Designer in Canada, her journey as a residential designer and what drives her designs.

Note: My sound is not great this episode, I was still working through some mic issues when this was recorded. I sound tin-can-y, sometimes you will hear me typing (why is this keyboard so loud?!), and clicking my mouse (why is this loud too?!!), or moving in my creaky ass chair (why are chairs so loud!?!) in the background while I am speaking. I did my best to remove it, but my editing skills are still those of someone learning so bear with me!
