Portfolio
Welcome to my online portfolio. I have been creating this since college to give employers a taste of what I am capable of and to keep a personal diary of my progress in design. I have excellent skills on SketchUp, Adobe Suite with some skills on AutoCAD as well as other design programmes used within companies. My first job after completing my college course was as an interior sales consultant for Dunelm. This was a great opportunity and very challenging for me but with my perseverance I managed to make the top 10 sales consultants in the UK. My time in Dunelm taught me how to manage my time effectively ensuring I hit every target set and building a great rapport with all my clients.
My next role allowed me to put all my best skills to work; sales, design and customer service. It was really exciting to be apart of the design industry doing what I love and what I worked so hard to enter. Unfortunately the volume of clients wasn't there and I strive on busy, pressurised work which is now what I am seeking.
My ideal job would be a designer for commercial and hospitality projects. I find designing something that 100's, 1000's, millions of people would see super exciting and very rewarding. I love designing with a functional space whilst being "different" and "attractive" for the public.
Below is a freelance project for a client looking to open another race simulation branch after having such success with his existing one. One of my biggest interests is motorsport; growing up with a dad who follows it very closely, now with a partner who is a professional racing driver who is apart of the BRDC and has achieved incredible things. This was super exciting for me to design! My client had a few requirements but was happy for me to be as creative as I like with the designing. He was extremely happy with my services and designs and I can't wait to see the finished design in person on completion!
