Personal Statement:

Interiors and Spatial design have always been a big passion of mine from a very early age. My particular interest lies in residential design, with my favourite spaces to design being bathrooms and kitchens due to the design challenges they pose; making small spaces functional, yet look good. I have a good eye for detail and space planning, I love to get involved early in the planning and construction stages to see how I can improve layout, functionality, and gain more out of every space no matter the size.

Aside from residential interiors, I also have prior experience in commercial interiors - designing a sushi shop, barbers, hotel suites and commercial office spaces. Although I don’t have as much experience in this area compared to residential design, I am a fast learner and I love the creative challenge that comes with translating company branding and values into a physical setting.

I think of myself as a hard worker, willing to go the extra mile for my clients and get the job done to a standard I am satisfied with. I am not afraid to get stuck in and assemble furniture or help with deliveries and installs where needed.

I like to stay up to date with new products and finishes within the industry, whether that’s social media marketing and research, or meeting with suppliers to find out what exciting new materials and products I can be utilising to bring my clients the latest and greatest of all things interior related.
