Inspired by Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project", I told myself I would start a blog in the new year.  What better way to start but by looking back at some of the wonderful (and fun!) projects HL Designs completed in 2012.  HL Designs is a group of licensed interior designers and architects based in Cebu City, Philippines.  I established the office in 2008 after I decided to move back home to the Philippines after my short stint in the US where I completed my masters degree in real estate development from Columbia University, did some continuing education courses from Parsons School of Design in New York City, and worked 3 years for real estate developer, Crescent Heights of America.  

Today, HL Designs' list of projects include various residential, commercial, retail, office, hospitality and institutional interiors all over the country.  Maybe some day we can also do projects outside the country... it's free to dream after all and it's a new year, so why not?
