Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself.

​

I'm Lily Gbenonde Gnimavo. With a Dutch-Indonesian mother and a father from Benin, West Africa, I was born and raised in Amsterdam—a vibrant city that has shaped my passion for culture and design.

My journey began at IVKO, a high school where I immersed myself in the arts. I explored everything visual, from design and photography to singing and dance, finding joy in creative expression across diverse forms.

​

After high school, I pursued a degree in Interior Design, where I found my passion for the harmony of interiors: shapes, textures, lighting, and their subtle interplay within a space. Internships and work experiences took me to different places, including an architectural firm abroad, which broadened my perspective and enriched my understanding of the craft.

​

Back in Amsterdam, I worked as a freelance designer before embarking on my Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a specialization in Interior-Architecture and Design .

 

My goal is to continually evolve within this field, cultivating knowledge, skills, and creativity that I can share with clients and collaborators. Ultimately, I aspire to develop a distinct, personal signature—an approach that weaves together my experiences and my passion for cohesive, meaningful design.
