About me
I am a highly motivated graduate from The Glasgow School of Art where I recently accredited my Bachelors of Art with Honours in Interior Design. I am seeking a challenging and varied position that will enable me to capitalise my knowledge, university project experience and general work experience, with opportunities for personal and professional growth. As a designer, fine artist and creative person I am very much focused on not only creating beautiful pieces of work but also how the work connects people, society and creativity together. Whether that is creating stimulating and provocative work that challenges societies taboos on death and grief, creating products that does not profit an organisation but creates a good image through helping combat homelessness or changing the way a fast food organisations process and products to be more ethically and cruelty free. I am a conceptual designer/artist that is currently looking to widen my knowledge and experience within the growing discipline of design and fine art.

  • Nepenthes: The Urban Space for Grieving (Final Year Degree Work) 2019
    Nepenthes: The Urban Space for Grieving (Final Year Degree Work) 2019Death, loss and grieving are things we can all relate to, regardless of culture, as everyone has lost, if not will, lose someone close to them at some point in their lives. Today in Western Culture, society has become fixated with the idea of an everlasting youth. Something which I feel has resulted in us being disconnected from death due to the improvements of technology and healthcare. This has resulted in the subject of death becoming a form of taboo that people tend to avoid and shy away fro

  • Retail Design World (RDW) - KFC (3rd Year) 2017
    Retail Design World (RDW) - KFC (3rd Year) 2017My design focus is a MOBILE based interior that is flexible in the form of a food truck concept.   I want to prioritise the most important aspect of KFC, which is the “GRAB AND GO”.  To do so, I have created a SIMPLIFIED MENU to reduce the inconvenience of the old ‘long & complex’ menu and as a result, will SAVE customer’s their TIME.  The main food products to sell will be wraps. They are QUICK to make, FILLING and easily CUSTOMISABLE. Of course other FRESH food box options are available, w
  • Window to the Locker Rooms (3rd Year) 2018
    Window to the Locker Rooms (3rd Year) 2018During part one of my design domain, my group and I studied the film ‘High Rise’ and how it portrays the different themes of the gender within the interior. As this aligned so well with our chosen route, gender, this led to part two of my design domain being partly influenced by part one.      Within our book, each member of my group chose different specific stills from the film that we felt aligned with our themes. In my case, I chose the themes masculinity, femininity and androgyny. After choo
  • Restaurant (2nd Year) 2017
    Restaurant (2nd Year) 2017For this project we were asked to design a unique, authentic restaurant experience, that will provoke a particular sense of place based upon our own personal memories that is linked to our childhood domestic environments that we have encountered.  This project for me was inspired by my family in the Philippines during the Easter holidays when they sent me photos of everyone gathered together during Easter Sunday for a feast. Feast in the Philippines is usually done on very special occasions suc
