About
Throughout my time at university I have gathered a lot of industrial experience, working in different companies gaining first-hand knowledge in a number of areas. I have been able to develop my existing skill-set gained from my university studies, and have developed an understanding of the industry and the style that I am interested in. Particular areas of
design I enjoy the most include 20th century contemporary furniture and lighting design, particularly looking at the importance of how pieces can be used to create an atmosphere within a space. -
