About
I am a technically focused Interior Designer with strong experience in AutoCAD and SketchUp, specialising in 2D technical drawings, 3D modelling, and space planning.
I have worked on residential interiors, including kitchens and bespoke joinery, producing accurate floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed drawing packs. I also create 3D visualisations to help clients clearly understand design concepts and layouts.
I am highly organised and detail-oriented, with experience coordinating with clients, contractors, and suppliers to ensure projects run smoothly and meet deadlines. My background in operations and administration has strengthened my ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently while maintaining accuracy and clear communication.
I am particularly passionate about layout design and creating functional, well-planned spaces, and I enjoy working on projects that require both technical precision and creative problem-solving.
