Hello! My name is Sarah, but you can call me Sez!

My love for new places and new experiences has definitely helped shape my broad range of works displayed within my portfolio over the past three years. My goal is to create a greater sense of connectivity between people and space through innovative, sustainable and functional design.

Since finishing in May 2021, I have been working for a construction company as an interior designer and documenter. The company specialises in auditing, residential, multi-residential, home modifications and Special Disability Accommodation.

The Noble

CLIENT BRIEF
To create a new and innovative venture for Merivale's extensive hospitality line, a venture which is completely different to anything they already own.

CONTEXT
An elegant and enduring 1930s inspired underground gin distillery, designed to awaken and excite your senses from start to finish. The consumer is encouraged to dive deep into Merivale’s persona of a luxurious and opulent character as they make their way through the grand entrance of the abandoned tunnels of St James Station. The furniture selection plays tribute to the era of the tunnel’s beginnings, reflecting a concept of luxury and sophistication. The rich materials evoke an intelligent finesse, drawing inspiration from the raw colours and textures of the botanic creations used within Merivale’s very own gin line.
