I am a spatial creative and designer with a foundation in Interior Design, Sustainable Design and Set Design, equipped with a professional background including visual merchandising, interior styling, event design, and experiential retail. My work is driven by a continual exploration of how people interact with space, and how thoughtful design can shape experience and function. My career as a designer has involved various aspects of design including retail, hospitality, home, events and film. I have developed and delivered design solutions, supervised installations and construction, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and transformed concepts into immersive experiences. While my recent roles have been rooted in commercial and retail-led work, the core of my practice has always been spatial design. I am now intentionally returning to the design scene to hone my technical skills, contribute to collaborative design processes, and engage in creative endeavours that prioritise quality, sustainability, and meaningful user experience. I am particularly interested in opportunities where I can contribute creatively and harness the visual language of space to share stories and ideas.
