About this listen
🎙 Just Another Human | EP.16 “When a Mahjong Game Got Me a Design Job”
What do mahjong, a traditional Japanese house, and a hundred bucks of paint have in common?
In this episode, I share the story of how a casual game night turned into my very first interior design job. From childhood memories with my miya-daiku dad to turning old furniture into something beautiful, this project brought together everything I love — DIY, creativity, and making people feel at home.
I talk about the challenges, the funny surprises (like the client's dad slowly taking over the house), and how I transformed the space on a tight budget. Plus, the real lesson I learned: design isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about helping people feel confident in their own space.
