While completing my diploma degree at Billy Blue College of Design, I utilised my time to solidify my choice of career. I figured out shortly after beginning that I'd made the right choice.

Over the 12 month study period I learnt and consolidated my skills in digital and hand renderings, concept development, spatial planning, materiality and how to put together a pretty wondrous presentation too.

Since the end of my formal studies, I have continued to immerse myself within the industry and continue learning everyday. In my down time I promote self guided learning by spending time using industry programs to maintain job ready proficiency.

On a more personal note, to me, the common misconception of design being about creating aesthetically pleasing spaces sets aside the good design from the great. I am a strong believer that it's all in those finer details of thought-out design and practicality that ultimately make the meaning of everyday living that much greater. I believe design plays a huge role in human connection, creativity and wanderlust to explore, learn and grow.

Interior design is more than a passion project for me. It's that sparkle in the clients eye and that feeling you get walking into a new restaurant. It's coming home after a long day and catching your breath.

Interior design is being connected in a subtle way each and everyday, making life easier in ways unimaginable.

I look forward to furthering my study journey into a bachelor degree in the coming years and making a splash in this thriving network of creatives.
