About me
A young, enthusiastic and creative individual seeking to build a career in the creative industry thats challenging and dynamic. I consider myself to be a go-getter, a person that wants to achieve something and make a name for myself. I thrive amongst creatives and am always up for a challenge. My current job role is working for Camerich, as their flagship showroom manager and interior designer. From meeting with clients to discuss their floorpans, to frequently updating the layout of the showroom, I am always on my feet being proactive in a creative environment. Recently, I have started my own business, 'Topology London', a completely innovative virtual interior design company, offering clients 3D room designs, mood boards and furniture lists - essentially making interior design accessible to the masses at an affordable price. It's a new endeavour, but I'm excited to see where it takes me. Although I'm currently employed, I am on the lookout to see what other exciting opportunities can be found!
Work history
    Showroom Manager & Interior Designer
    As a manager at Camerich, my main duty is to look after the London flagship showroom and the team, to make sure it runs smoothly so we can present clients with a well maintained showroom that clearly displays our extensive luxury furniture range. I also maintain the interior design and decoration of the showroom itself - every month of so I will carry out a huge showroom transformation where I will order new furniture, plants, lighting, colour schemes etc in order to keep the brand modern and up to date with trends. In addition to this, in order to help our company expand and maximise sales, I offer clients sketches and presentations of proposed furniture layouts which in turn also aids our customers decisions on what to buy with ease. In order to fully offer valuable judgement on what to purchase, I keep myself up to date with interior trends so that I can be confidant in what I recommend are the best possible designs to my clients. In addition to this, I have attained the responsibility of training staff, monitoring their progress as employees, as well as aiming to provide them with a happy environment to work in.
