My graduation from KLC School of Design is a pivotal milestone towards my ambition to becoming a thriving Interior Designer. My journey combined academic learning with valuable hands-on experience over the past few years.

Throughout my studies, I have developed a deep understanding of the entire design process—from conceptualising initial ideas to sourcing materials, budgeting, and creating technical drawings. This well-rounded knowledge has been crucial in preparing me for a future in the dynamic world of interior design.

My academic projects have covered a range of sectors, both residential and commercial, allowing me to explore diverse styles and approaches.              I have learned how to shape spaces that are not only functional but also reflect the unique personalities and lifestyles of their users.

What sets my experience apart is my full-time industry work throughout my degree. From office planning for BMW to brand design and experiential spaces for big brands like Bosch and Siemens, I have gained versatile, real-world insight. I have also enjoyed designing kitchen and bespoke furniture within residential projects—helping clients realise deeply personal and meaningful spaces.

Working on multiple residential projects over the last 3 years for Wren Kitchens and Sheraton Interiors, I had the privilege of helping clients bring their vision to life, creating spaces that reflect their individual stories and needs. There is a special fulfilment in designing a home that feels like a true reflection of the people who live there.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to focus on residential design—transforming houses into homes that feel authentic and lived-in. I aim to combine my technical ability with creative vision to craft interiors that are both functional and beautiful.

As I graduate, I feel confident and ready to begin the next chapter of my design journey—bringing my passion, skills, and dedication to every new project I take on.
