About me
I am a creative individual, with a background in Print Design. I have a trained eye for colour, composition and design detail, and a keen interest in material, space and surface. My commercial awareness has been gained from working for a British Fashion brand. Whilst working for this brand, I developed and presented a business opportunity to the board of Directors and it is subsequently being implemented. Industry experience includes exhibiting at London Design Festival and working with soft furnishings designers. Further experience includes Set Design and Still Life Styling assistant roles. I am competent in drawing, CAD artwork, presentation and communication. I am a friendly, positive, team player and enjoy a challenge!
My love for learning and engaging with people and the world around me, have led me to live in both Paris and Australia. I consider travel and storytelling inspiring for both personal and professional practice.
I am actively seeking new opportunities that will take advantage of my Design experience and combine these with my career goals to find a suitable position within the Interior Design sector.
