I will be graduating from the University of Glamorgan, Wales, with a BA Honours Interior Design, and am hoping to further my career by joining your team. Previous experience has benefited my ability to adapt quickly to a design team. My experience has been in architecture, design and interiors, covering projects from the office and on site. In the office environment, I have had the opportunity of working on live projects in the United Kingdom and in Dubai. Working closely with Pia Lakhsmi Sen whilst working in Dubai, I developed an eye for colour schemes, fabrics and fittings and feel that this is a strength of mine. I also worked alongside senior architects on technical drawings, concepts schemes, engaged in meetings with clients and produces work for presentations.
I believe that I would be an asset to your team.

As part of my degree course we were entered into a live competition project, for a community café, and I was fortunate to be chosen as a finalist. I had to represent my scheme to a panel of judges, which included a member of the Grand Designs team, and the director of the Pinkspiration Enterprise. My presentation was filmed because the project was being documented due to it being government funded. On the 3rd February 2012, the Mayor of Newport officially opened the café, and alongside whole team that took part, I was presented with a certificate of outstanding achievement.
