Our Team
Junior Interior Designer
Meet the lovely Annie Smith, Junior Interior Designer. Annie joined us straight from University and is a key creator within our commercial interiors team.
I graduated from De Montfort University in September 2023 and joined COEL as a Graduate Interior Designer that December. I have been learning and growing here ever since. The people, my team, and the fact that every day is completely different is what makes this role so perfect for me. I have always had a passion for interior design, but to now live and breathe it with such a supportive team is the icing on the cake.
Day to day, I support COEL’s talented Interior Designers by managing the sample library and creating SketchUp renders for client presentations. As an open and bubbly person, I have a genuine passion for working with clients; I love helping people express their enthusiasm for design and learning from everyone in the office to bring a project from initial design through to completion. Each day and every design and build project offers a new learning experience, which I thrive on.
I love netball, girls holidays in Marbella and going out with my friends and family. I love socialising, laughing and doing a bit of Pilates on a Sunday morning.
Annie is a talented young designer, with technical skills in CAD, photoshop and SketchUp. She excels in communication and teamwork, and has a natural openness to learning new things and hearing others views. These traits are all huge assets to COEL, and Annie’s caring and creative personality means she is admired by her clients and colleagues alike.
Annie specialises in creating 3D renders for client presentations to bring our office designs to life, and also manages her own projects which allows her to dive in and show off her creative side. Her designs seamlessly integrate functional and aesthetic elements, considering practicality, cost and safety, whilst ensuring alignment with the company’s branding and overall image.
