I am an independent designer and studio co-founder with over ten years of experience leading residential, boutique commercial, and hospitality projects from the first conversation through the final install. What drives me is creating spaces that feel genuinely considered and atmosphere-driven, not just decorated. I have a strong foundation in colour strategy, material curation, and client-facing presentation, and I am comfortable working remotely and collaborating across time zones. For visual deliverables, I work in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop to build moodboards and presentations that communicate a clear design direction.
