About Me:
I am a freelance spatial designer and project manager based in London.
I have over 7 years experience designing and project managing all sorts of sets, spaces and beautiful environments: from production design for Selfridges windows to bar interiors for John Lewis, store design for New Look, pop-up bars for Nighttales and event design at many music Festivals.
My design philosophy is that I do not not have a set design philosophy. I try to respond pragmatically to every brief, balancing a brand’s design heritage with the need to be fresH AND EXCITING.
I have specialist understanding of materiality, production and project management, so I can confidently turn any design no matter how outlandish, into reality.
What I can offer: initial concept generation; design and visualisation; FF&E packages; technical design specs and project management.
