I began my career in retail point-of-sale displays, using SolidWorks to create 3D designs and graphics. This led me to a role in London, where I worked on window displays, store design, and general graphic design.
After taking a short break to travel, I found my way into commercial fit-out design at COEL. Starting as a Junior Designer, I have thoroughly enjoyed developing my skills in designing for commercial environments.
Outside of work, I keep the creativity going with painting, sketching and fabric exploration. I also enjoy meeting with friends, long walks in the countryside and exploring new places.
