About me
I have a deep passion for interior design, event producing and lifestyle content creating. With a specific interest in people-centred projects and using visual aesthetics and design to promote health and well-being. The opportunity to create a space, event or piece of media for others that supports them, allows them to grow and heal or even make memories, brings me great joy and a feeling of purpose.
Through design in all of its forms, we are able to create beauty for ourselves and others which helps to make even the regular daily routine, far more interesting. I aim to do this for all of my clients when working on projects whether it is an interior design project, event to be planned or through positive content sharing.

Projects
- Interior Design: Multifunctional Family RoomThe client requested their space by designed in a way that allows for all the family to make us elf the space, with a focus on family time rather than the television. The client is a young couple with Scandinavian and British heritage, therefore I have carefully chosen the wall and floor finishes to reflect nature and natural elements. With the furniture, I included a mixture of pieces with Scandinavian influence such as the arm chairs by the fire place and the dining table was made out of solid

Education

Diploma in Professional Interior DesignNational Design Academy
- Nottingham, United Kingdom
2020 forced me to think more about what I wanted to do as a career, with the extra time I had I decided to explore all of my options. I made the decision to grow my knowledge in a topic that I have always had a great interest, Interior Design.
The Diploma in Professional Design course at the NDA was been eye opening and confirmed my passion for interior design and further helped me make the decision to explore a career within the industry.
Working on a client project from start to finish (theory based) was an incredible experience. From creating initial inspiration boards, to deciding on floor and wall finishes and completing scale drawings to a professional standard, the entire experience was extremely interesting.

Bachelor of Arts in Media StudiesNottingham Trent University
- Nottingham, United Kingdom
Studying media at NTU gave me the opportunity to explore various different topics and paths within the creative industry. I spent my time learning how to perform a DJ set in front of my peers in the student union, writing essays on representations of the body and managing photoshoots for a creative photography module. It's safe to say that the three years I spent studying Media was far from dull!
