Having worked as both a developer and interior designer for 13+ years, focusing on the high end residential sector, I have continually pursued growth in my knowledge and skills throughout my career, always with the continued hunger to learn.
With a wealth of experience in the most demanding property markets of London and New York, the lessons learnt by successfully completing many sought after projects has helped me grow and facilitate my continued passion for this industry.
My proudest moment came approximately 8 years prior, when my dedication was rewarded with an appointment to head the venture of opening the first international office for a reputable UK development firm. It was a great responsibility, but one that I took in my stride. The experience not only enhanced my skill-set as a developer, but also allowed me to apply my entrepreneurial ability to facilitate the many aspects required with the opening an office in a foreign country. Therefore, I bring a wealth of knowledge not only in both creativity and technicality, but also have extreme confidence when confronted with any managerial and logistical aspects of a project or task.
I have earned my opportunities by working my way up from being a protege to a junior designer to project managing high end residential projects in London valuing in excess of 8,000,000 GBP. Interacting with products, designs and clients of this calibre was a privilege and experience that is not easily obtained and therefore has always been extremely valued by myself.
From there, I have worked between New York and London from 2010 to 2017, where I have left behind an office that I opened and still continues to flourish, working strictly on high end projects ranging in the value of 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 USD, with a team of 10 full time staff who have been trained by myself to implement new, unique and modern styles to every home.
With myself fully re-established back in London, I have been conducting as freelance design consultant since 2017.
