Imaginative and highly motivated with excellent organisation and logic, I can be relied upon to find innovative and original solutions to design problems, whilst staying practical and methodical in their production. From my passion for art, and my education in Art and Architectural History, I have a discerning eye for design and fine detail, which I carry through the entire design process. From analysing a building's structure and the way it is to be used, to its final finishing touches, I can be trusted to see the wider picture in order to produce a coherent and sensitive final product.
