Skills
I'm offering
An enthusiastic, sociable and highly motivated designer with proven leadership skills and experience of the built environment in coordination, creativity and marketing. I have both designed solely and coordinated teams, providing design services to the UK and overseas clients, both in Europe and the Middle East. My quality of design and service has allowed me to work with multiple high profile clients on notable projects of various scales from Battersea Power Station where I designed the South Penthouse and various adjacent apartments, to Facebook test-lab where I created the concept design for their first ‘hotelling’ space in it’s Dublin campus.
I have built and continue to build a loyal and international network of specialists and colleagues in the design industry which I thoroughly enjoy. This has allowed me to collaborate and excel with different personalities from different cultures. This has lead me to be apart of the social & media committee both at Leslie Jones Architecture and TTSP as well as co-representing TTSP at CoreNet, proving successful in expanding their presence. My main interests include playing in golf competitions, 5-a-side football, Wes Anderson films, and events planning, as well attending creativity events such as Maison & Objet, Sleep&Eat, and the London Design Festival amongst others.
