An Interior is the natural

projection of the soul.

~Coco Chanel~

Interior design is my passion.

I enjoy all aspects of the creative process and where possible try to be part of it in order to understand the ways things are made, materials properties and their limitations.

I actively seek for ways to learn, grow and develop.

I believe that my skill set is invaluable in any design practice.

I am proficient in AutoCad and SketchUp and many other programs.

I can successfully translate my ideas onto 3d visualization which then can be made into

reality - evidence of which you will find in this portfolio.

I have selected projects showing of my design skill set.

From kitchen and bathroom and fitted furniture,

to reception area in a hotel and a winning board for a competition run by HOK and Gensler.

I am passionate about domestic and commercial projects.

My personal style could be described as minimalistic, Scandinavian at times with a hint of ‘hygge’.

I love to work with soft furnishings and fabrics. I like to play with different textures and patterns.

I am not afraid to use colours and like to experiment with proportions and scale.

Thank you for your interest in my portfolio

Project: Bathroom design for HPB Barnham Broom, Norfolk.

Detailed specification and implementation of the trial 9 rooms

set a template for rolling 3 year plan of refurbishment.

Communication and negotiation with varies suppliers,

contractors and site managers ensured timeless yet affordable

solution to the design.

I used grey and white metro tiles to separate the zones, the white grout

used between grey tiles brought everything together.

The pale grey paint and big mirrors add illusion of space.

Overall the design was very well received. The ease of cleaning and

maintenance was also highlighted.

This project was all about a big yellow Bertazzoni range cooker and

Astralis Blue granite. Customer wanted to achieve very modern

kitchen, with elements vibrant, contrasting elements in order to

express their personalities.

Project: 1950s house, Thorpe End, Norwich.

The moodboard is a perfect example of how I

like to present customer with a concept.

I included images of customer’s items and

ideas we’ve discussed and agreed on.

With addition of detailed AutoCad drawings

and itemised quotes, customer had no

problem to visualize the finished product!

Project: Gislingham, Grade II listed farm house.

The choices of materials were selected in a very sympathetic manner to

the property style and age. I designed custom made kitchen in shaker

style cabinets in F&B Purbeck Stone finish with a Fantastic White slab of

granite as worktop and upstands. We used ceramic butler sink and cream

fridge freezer by Smeg. The addition of the rainbow lights brought

colour, sense of fun and youth to the kitchen.

Project: German style kitchen, Norwich.

This kitchen was a very dark and

unorganized space. My design brightened

the entire space up with custom made

cabinets and gumtree veneer sourced

from London’s supplier. We used Philip

Stark tap, Siemens appliances and glass

splashbacks.

Project: Bedroom fitted furniture, Norwich.

To fit everything in a small bedroom can be a

challenge. I’ve suggested ‘flipping’ the room layout

around to achieve better use of the space.

I decided to add mirrors, used a light, soft palette of

colours (F&B) and introduced curves to cabinets in

order to increase the flow in the space.

We used silver polished door handles by Haffale.

Project: Modern, large extension, Norwich.

High-spec kitchen, including Nebula Silestone as

worktop and splashbacks and feature wall, Tom Dixon

lights, Miele ovens and coffee machines, etc.

Winner of Competition:

‘HOK and Gensler Olympic Media Centre.’

Project: reception area at HPB Lucker Hall,

Northumberland.

I designed, project managed and helped to install the

furniture on site. The partition wall is a laser cut sheet

of acrylic with custom made (cut and engraved) HPB

logo, also the front of reception desk is similarly laser

cut and engraved. The furniture was made in mixture of

Perspex, ash and pine. Doors were stained white wash

to match the nautical theme of the site.

My personal style and 3d and laser cut

projects.

My partner and I own a 3d printer and a laser

cutter. This allows us to create intricate objects

and designer pieces. I also like to experiment

with fabrics, I use sewing machine in my spare

time. My 2016 resolution was to create/design

something every day!
