I have a 2:1 degree in Applied Arts (Contemporary Furniture Design) and love being creative with Designs and Art. I'm currently studying Architectural Technology BSc at University Campus Suffolk whilst working at Rees Pryers Architects in Bury st Edmonds.
I believe I have well educated and practised knowledge of design and am currently looking for an internship to allow me to gain the experience and technical skills to develop my ideas.
I am exceptionally well organised and practical, excellent at problem solving and making systems more efficient. I thrive in high pressure situations and take on additional responsibilities with a flexible proactive attitude.
I have an eye for detail and am passionate about linking excellent functionality with modern aesthetics. As a designer I was selected to exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum for Childhood, London and New Designers at the Business Design Centre, London. I am committed to continuing my interest in design through a career in architectural/ building development.
