Alice Hislop

Hello, I’m Alice. I’m an Interior Designer based in Oxfordshire and working in London.After initially applying to study Psychology, I began to consider Interior Design as an alternate path during my Art A Level final project. It seemed to be the perfect balance between technical detail and creative design.I throughly enjoyed exploring each of the varied project briefs during my time at KLC, developing a broad range of skills to prepare me for the industry. Particular highlights were the Final Project, a retail space for a niche Perfumery brand, and the Group Project, a Nature Discovery Centre for The Essex Wildlife Trust, both allowing the opportunity to work with a live brief and to present final proposals to real clients. I am particularly interested in the link between psychology and interiors and how a elements of a space impact our mind and wellbeing.Part-way into the course, I began working for a mainly residential interior design studio in Oxfordshire, which complemented my studies and greatly increased my real-life knowledge and experience of the industry. After completing the course in December, I began looking for opportunities within Commercial design, and I am now working as a Junior Designer at Studio Jill, guided by a brilliant team on some very exciting projects.Please see below for a curated selection of work from my time at KLC. For more, please take a look at my portfolio, linked at the bottom of the page.Finally, If you are considering studying Interior Design or changing career, I can’t recommend KLC highly enough – the tutors, students, projects, course structure and content, industry links and events combined are a winning combination.
