I’m an energetic, hardworking and ambitious interior design graduate with a degree in interior architecture and design from Birmingham City University and professional training from The British College of Interior Design. I bring a solid understanding of the full design process and experience using AutoCAD, SketchUp, TwinMotion and the Microsoft and Adobe Suite to bring ideas to life. Alongside my design work, I’ve spent five years as a scout team leader, where I developed strong leadership, teamwork and critical thinking skills. I’m now excited to take the next step and apply my creativity, technical ability and passion for interior architecture in an interior role.
