ABOUT
An enthusiastic and driven interior designer, with a passion for design, life drawing, theatre and all things creative. I have the skills to deliver functional, innovative and inspiring designs.
Alongside my academic pursuits at The Glasgow School of Art, I’ve had the privilege of gaining invaluable experience in workplace design with Phoenix Group (Standard Life).This has provided me with excellent insight into the dynamics of design and client needs. Previously I was involved in Musical theatre, which has given me the unique experience of work in a fast paced environment, while allowing me to develop excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
I am looking to join a dynamic and forward thinking design studio, where I can continue to build my knowledge and experience in an industry I’m passionate about.
