With two pieces currently released, her work is minimalistic and efficient. Each piece was designed to be multifunctional and adaptable to the user's needs. The first piece is [multifunctional clothing rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) meant for a rotation of everyday clothes. With a built-in, removable laundry rack, this piece serves as the place where clothes are taken on and off to avoid piles of clothes around one's home. The second piece is a night table with a removable tech tray. As the global population continues to grow, more Millennial and Gen Z consumers are choosing to live in [small spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabanon).
