About 

Creative individual with a natural flair for design and an eye for detail seeks a role in the design industry. I have an adventurous imagination for designing and can communicate my ideas through use of sketching and model making. From large-scale projects to small-scale, I look forward to developing my skills and knowledge in a professional environment and have a long-term goal of working in Interior Design, as it would allow me to combine my artistic and technical talents. 

I enjoy listening to music, attending gigs and festivals. I am a member of the gym and often attend Northumbria University Sports Central to watch the local basketball team, Newcastle Eagles. I enjoy reading and visiting my local gallery, The Baltic, to see exhibitions of contemporary art. In 2012 I went travelling for 6weeks over July/August to Thailand and Laos.
