With my background in architecture, bespoke interior design, and the recent completion of my Postgraduate Diploma in Interior Design at the British Academy of Interior Design, I am confident in my ability to contribute high-quality, thoughtful, and detail-driven work. My portfolio includes residential and bespoke joinery projects. Some of my previous renders may not fully reflect the quality I am capable of producing, due solely to limitations with my former laptop, which lacked the processing power needed for high-resolution rendering. Despite these hardware constraints, I consistently demonstrated a solid understanding of lighting, materials, composition, and scene optimization. With access to the appropriate software licenses I am ready to produce polished results that accurately capture atmosphere, materiality, and spatial character. I am committed to refining every detail to ensure the final visuals communicate the intended design clearly and compellingly. I am highly motivated and comfortable working independently in remote environments while incorporating feedback efficiently.
