Cirriculum Vitae

TO BE UPDATED

‘I am a young Interior Designer that has recently graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree. I am currently studying MA Interior Design where I hope to increase my knowledge and also increase my skills.’

 Through studying and working I have gained excellent customer relation skills, team player skills and immaculate time keeping. This has also led me to have good time planning and organisational skills which enable me to be reliable and to meet deadlines. My friendly, bubbly personality gives me great opportunity to work well within a team whilst also keeping a professional manner within my work and working environment. Within my work I aim to get the best finish with each and every design and work hard to discipline this. I have a technical mind and while this doesn’t stop me developing my ideas it helps engineer the design into something much more creative and innovative. I thrive off new concepts and ways of working and find I pick up new methods and information easily. I love to challenge my own ability both within my designs and also personally.

  Hobbies & Interests:

At a young age I studied art and graphic design at high school this latter inspired me to take qualifications in Interior Design. Whilst I always enjoyed interior design other aspects of the industry inspired me especially architecture, building regulations, planning requirements, the requirements of new buildings and the property market. A lot of inspiration for my design style comes from the modern linear aspect of design or architecture.

I am an outgoing, easy approachable individual and helping people and working as part of a team gives me great pleasure both in my working and personal environment. I enjoy spending time with my partner, friends and family. I enjoy dining out, swimming and days out. I also have a passion to travel and see different cities, countries and cultures.
