Gloribell of I Don’t Know How She Does It has always loved design. Ever since she was just a little girl, design has been the main motor in her life. Most of her background knowledge comes from being a graphic designer for more than 15 years. But, because the design urge was so strong to Gloribell, she had to look for some other ways to communicate how she felt about colors, symmetry, decor and every little detail in between. Now that she’s become an interior decorator/designer, her love for design has become more than a hobby. It is what she enjoys and does best.
