About
I’m Tess, an architectural graduate with over four years of experience specialising in residential design and interior architecture. Skilled in Revit, ArchiCAD, and 3D visualisation, I bring thoughtful, functional spaces to life, tailored precisely to each client’s needs. From small-scale homes to multi-residential projects, I’ve managed every stage from concept through construction documentation with a strong focus on detail, clarity, and quality.
What drives me is the joy of transforming ideas into spaces that not only look beautiful but also improve how people live and interact with their environment. I thrive in collaborative settings where clear communication and creative problem-solving lead to designs that are both innovative and deeply personal. For me, great design balances aesthetics with function, and it’s this balance that fuels my passion every day.
