ARCHITECT/INTERIOR DESIGNER Kalkidan was born in a family where she was  encouraged to follow her artistic tendencies.  Her eye and talent for design took her from being a little girl who stood on chairs insisting on using cut-up old sheets as curtains all the way to university where she graduated with a Bachelors in Architecture and Urban Planning. Following her affinity for detailed art, her experience in the interior design business struck a chord with her passion for Ethiopian Culture She noticed that either cultural authenticity or design discipline were expected to be compromised upon. Her frustration grew with clothing fabrics being misused in interior design. That’s how her Interior design company Balemuya Interiors and its brand child Meleya were born.
