About me

I graduated in 2010 in Interior Architecture - a course focused on the remodelling of existing buildings. My training in Interior Architecture gives me a distinct approach to designing: I want to handle a material and lighting variety that transcends disciplinary stigmas between interiors, exteriors, structures and furnishings; I want to resolve complex planning challenges at large scale without neglecting the significance of the human scale and 1:5 detail; I want to understand the essential spirit within projects - synthesising the cultures within given briefs, clients, users, settings and so on into expressive design languages and tailor made design proposals; I want to tackle questions about how heritage is preserved, how new social conditions are catered for, and how the conflicts that arise between the two are reconciled; and so on. I've got a real passion for how things are made and a drive to want to create innovative solutions to challenging problems. My dissertation was titled 'Architecture and Engineering - The link between Art and Science'.
Since finishing university education just over a year ago, i've:

- Designed and built festival decor including the main bar, furniture, teepees, archways, signs etc. Projects achieved with the use of various reclaimed materials.
- I've been involved in designing and constructing a three platform high treehouse made out of oak.

- I've designed and built products, and constantly have a note pad full of creative ideas.

- I'm proposing to design a mobile events bar for a major cider company.
I'm currently working as a groundskeeper on a country estate, which has had its advantages; its developed my practical skills at solving problems with my hands and tools as opposed to a drawing board and a pencil or computer screen and mouse. However, I'm extremely eager to gain some real experience within a company I can feel passionate about.

I'm entrepreneurial, think outside the box and really hope I could be an asset to an exciting company.

I really hope this has been of interest to you, and I would greatly appreciate any opportunity to be involved any design experience. Please get in contact if you'd like to see more of my portfolio.
