About Me.

I am a graduate in Interior Design form the University of Derby. I have experience in residential and commercial projects. During my studies I completed several live projects, which required me to work with clients and develop their visions into creative and feasible design. Currently, I am working as an assistant to the project manager in an interior design studio, where I am gaining my first experience in the industry. I am an ambitious individual, who always aims to deliver excellent and functional design solutions before deadlines.
