Annette Cheng was born in Logan and raised in Taiwan, and she'll soon be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture and Design, along with a minor in art. Art and design have always been at the core of her life, and it was in 9th grade that she realized interior design was the career she wanted to pursue. Her journey took an exciting turn when her aunt, an interior designer from Taiwan, introduced her to design software right after high school. Along the way, Annette has gathered invaluable experiences, including an internship at Michelle Boudreau Design in Palm Springs, which helped shape her understanding of the design world. After graduation, she's eager to focus on residential and hospitality design. Outside of interior design, Annette loves to create both realistic watercolor and digital art. With her eye for detail and a genuine commitment to designing spaces that feel both personal and functional, Annette is passionate about creating environments that are not only beautiful but meaningful. 

I believe in doing the thing you feel is right. If it looks right, it is right.

Lumira Pediatric Oncology Hospital

Lumira Pediatric Oncology Hospital is a nonprofit healing center dedicated to supporting children and families on their journey through cancer care.

Inspired by fairy tales, the hospital transforms clinical spaces into storybook-like environments that spark curiosity, comfort, and joy.

Nonsense Fragrance Lab

Nonsense Fragrance Lab is a LEED-certified commercial project located in New York offering customizable fragrances through a luxurious, hands-on scent-making experience. The name “Nonsense” reflects the core philosophy of the brand: that scent is deeply personal, and emotional, and doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but you. It embraces the idea that fragrance is not about logic or trends—it’s about feeling, memory, and individuality.
