About 

Greetings, i am a professional interior designer and consultant with about five years of experience in the industry. I completed my studies in 2018 and graduated in the year 2019 with a degree in interior design from Maseno University, and have been practicing my skill since before i completed my studies.Within my years in the industry i have had the privilege of working on projects of various scale, from both commercial to residential designing. Using Software such as Archicad, Sketchup and Vray i am able to translate a client's brief from conception, presentation up until implementation. I enjoy creating presentations for my clients and working in both an individual and team setup as i believe both are essential in the realization of any project. 
I currently consult on projects through a start up i run whose main focus is the sustainable use of wood in interiors.
