About

I am an experienced interior designer with over 10 years of multidisciplinary expertise within the interior industry. My work ranges from technical space planning to BIM level 2 standards and UK regulations, as well as bespoke joinery design, room design schemes, detailed estimating, project management, and graphic design. Raised in the public house industry, I have developed a strong work ethic, excellent people skills, and real-life hospitality experience. Creativity and challenges motivate and excite me every day.

I combine my diverse skills to offer practical and affordable interior services to the public while building strong trade networks. I have experience in affordable and high-end residential, commercial contractors, and educational projects. I enjoy pushing my own and others’ capabilities and love turning design concepts into photorealistic visuals. I strive to provide bespoke joinery services and supporting estimating for trade clients while managing collaborative partnerships successfully.
