About

With over ten years of experience in Interior Design and Architecture, I have had the pleasure of working across diverse sectors including residential, F&B, retail, and offices. I specialize in taking projects from concept through to completion, ensuring every detail is carefully managed for seamless delivery. I enjoy collaborating with both high street chains and bespoke independent clients, providing tailored designs that meet their unique needs.

As a freelancer, I offer a flexible skillset ranging from concept design and drawing packages to 3D renders and detailed statutory drawings. I pride myself on effective communication, time management, and problem-solving abilities, which help me juggle multiple projects and deliver results that exceed expectations.
