Hi, I’m Ashgan Salim, a recent BA Interior Architecture and Design graduate from Birmingham City University. I’ve built hands-on experience across academic projects, live collaborations, and industry practice, developing skills in concept development, spatial planning, technical drawing, visualisation, model making, and professional design communication. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, functional, and engaging spaces that respond to people, place, and purpose. I was recognised as a Regional Finalist for the Women in Property Student Award 2025, and I’m eager to contribute to a professional design studio.
