I am originally from New Zealand, currently in the UK on a 5 year Ancestry Visa which expires on the 1st of July, however I have applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain, so now have at least another 6 months until this is approved.
I have a degree in Spatial Design, achieving Honours, and 9+ years Design experience, with the last 4 years in England focusing on bespoke high-end residential Kitchen and Bathroom Design. I have also worked with many customers to provide more comprehensive home designs, including offices, bedrooms, utilities, and other multi-use spaces. My attached portfolio and portfolio website below highlight examples of projects where customers have asked me to model their entire living, dining and kitchen space, in order to better visualise their Architect’s plans.
I am currently looking for the next challenge and to progress my career further as an Interior Designer, with the aim of continuing to expand my range of knowledge and skills. I have always had a particular interest in hospitality and leisure design, however over the last 4 years I have found a passion for high-end private residential. I am also very interested in Graphic Design, Promotional Products, Product Design, Exhibition Design and Branding Design.

Alongside my full-time employment, I have designed and produced work for family, friends and friends of friends, through word of mouth, from logo designs to children’s birthday invitations. I work closely with my customers to create the brand identity of their own new companies, producing logos, business cards, set-up merchandise, marketing materials, and websites and online presence.
Most notable works were:
- A full wedding package - monogram, invitations, flip flops, corflute fans and wine labels.
- Brand identities for several small start-up businesses, including logos and marketing materials.
- As the company had clients all around New Zealand and the world, I was working on more than 50 jobs at a time, so multitasking was imperative.
- Improved personal range of knowledge including production and branding techniques, creating user-friendly and print ready files through new design software packages.
