About
I have recently graduated from Kingston University with First Class Honours in BA Interior Design. My journey into spatial design was ignited by my award-winning set design for The Royal Opera House Design Challenge in 2019. Since then, my enthusiasm for crafting captivating spaces has flourished. Amidst the pandemic, I seized the opportunity to delve into entrepreneurship as a creative individual, nurturing a small business that I continue to grow and develop today.
As an Interior Designer, I am deeply committed to exploring the intricate relationship between sustainable
materials, natural phenomena, and user demographics to craft sensorial spaces that enhance the user experience.
My Final Major Project at university delves into the potential of a circular economy, emphasising adaptive reuse and the repurposing of existing materials to preserve cultural heritage and promote sustainability. Moreover, my design philosophy prioritises the creation of thoughtfully constructed interiors that foster social interaction and communication.
By integrating cultural and ergonomic considerations, I strive for my designs to play a pivotal role in shaping environments that support diverse social activities, thereby enriching our communal experiences and strengthening societal bonds.

cHATHAM’S TIDAL TEA FARM
Chatham, once a united community thriving along The Medway, now suffers from diminished civic pride, identity, and employment opportunities, resulting in a divided town. The Historic Dockyard, once a hub of innovation, is now a static site. This project aims to rejuvenate the area with sustainable programs responsive to environmental changes, fostering a dynamic space. The Medway experiences silting and cyclical floods every 15 years, with floodwalls degrading land diversity and reducing agricultural and ecosystem benefits. Historically, riverbanks supported civilisations with nutrient-rich silt for agriculture. Restoring traditional terraced embankments can stabilise soil and prevent erosion. Despite supporting 32% of national biodiversity, the largely privatised Medway is underutilised. By embracing the dynamic nature of floodplains through adaptive design, Chatham can transform into a vibrant space celebrating water, land, and community. Collaboration with local farmers and charities can turn flood-prone areas into cultural, ecological, and recreational assets, reimagining The Historic Dockyard as a hub of craftsmanship and innovation.
