INTERIOR IS MY OTHER PASSION
I always loved interior design and home decoration but never took it as my first dream. Coming back to Vietnam in 2007 and thinking of a new project to do in my hometown, i chose interior instead of fashion. "It sounds strange!" I knew my family and all of my friends never wanted to believe that i tried to make this dream come true, just because i never had any experience about it. To me, it's not about successful career or anything, it's simply about "doing what you want to do and what you are passionate about". If you never try, you never have experience. If you never take a risk, you never access your dream.
To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.

I started to do my research and learned how to choose colors in interior instead of clothes, and knew that interior design was more about shapes, straight lines, and spaces rather than figures, cutting lines, and little details. On the other hand, interior and fashion both need the movement of color and fine finishing of products.
I did my first interior design for my office and then my sister's house. It was very hard then because i didn't know how to use the software 2D or 3D computer graphics. All of my sketches were by hand, on papers A4, with pencil and a small ruler. I tried to make three dimensional sketches by hand in hope that the technicians could understand my ideas to redraw on computer. And they did! However, i was very annoyed in the way that i could not do it on my own.

MY FIRST 3D SKETCH
After that, i decided to learn 3D computer graphic and the program of two and a half months was fantastic! I liked to use it to do the fast layout and tried on different colors and decorations but i didn't go too much into details. And i just loved it!
My first 3D sketch was made for a 67sqm apartment in Chelles city in France. My job was remodeling it under a budget and mixing old and new furniture. It turned out very fun to do!
I got a lot of compliments from everyone on the interior design of my sister's house with all the home decor products that i did for her. It made me believe that I could make beautiful houses and I could work on interior which I have always dreamed of. I decided to make my own website for all of the projects of interior that i did, so I could do business with it.
In 2012, the interior and home decor website was launched at www.uyenthanh.net. Even though there were not a lot of interior products on the website at that time, but i believed that i could make more in the future.
