About

I am an interior design graduate with a multi-disciplinary approach to design. My passion lies in concept creation and 3D visualisation, where I strive to push boundaries and embrace innovation. My dedication to growth and excellence has led to various achievements, such as being nominated for the Interior Educators Awards for my final major project and receiving the University Prize for Interior Design.

The Alter.e concept store integrates digital innovations and multiversal design to help consumers explore their favourite fragrances beyond the bounds of reality. The customer journey includes testing and refill stations, surreal seasonal exhibitions, and immersive experience bubbles. These bubbles allow consumers to explore virtual environments that embody the essence of each Alter.e fragrance. As they explore, they will be surrounded by a fragrant mist, enhancing their experience. Consumers can receive personal recommendations with store assistance powered by artificial intelligence and use a payment system that eliminates the need to wait in line. The interior scheme draws inspiration from the liquid form of perfume and its interaction with air inside its glass container. The relationship between the air pockets and liquid inspires a physical environment where solid and void present an intriguing path for customers to follow and discover. Materials include glass, steel, resin, pink clay, pink velvet, and vibrant indoor plants.
