About

I’m an Interior Architectural Designer with over 10 years of experience leading high-end residential and workplace projects, bringing concepts through to completion. I’m comfortable owning projects from initial spatial planning and cohesive interior schemes, through technical detailing, FF&E sourcing, and client presentations—while coordinating contractors, consultants, and suppliers to keep delivery on track.

I enjoy translating a client’s vision into functional, beautiful interiors, including bespoke joinery and kitchen/bathroom design, reflected ceiling plan (RCP) coordination, and lighting design with RCP/M&E alignment. My background also includes design-and-build workplace work with strong on-site practical knowledge, where I manage timelines and budgets, resolve technical issues, and produce clear AutoCAD/3D modelled documentation to support smooth execution.
