I am a fully-qualified Interior Architect & Designer from The University of Portsmouth. I graduated in July 2016. My goals include becoming an Interior Designer creating bespoke interiors for luxury motor yachts, super yachts, and cruise liners. I have proficient skills in

Hand-Drawing; including artist impressions, sketching and detail,
Adobe Creative Suite; including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
Print
Graphics
Graphic Design for Digital and Print

But would gratefully welcome any experience in an interior design practice. I have an expansive knowledge of yachts and yachting, and their structure and how they are built; through my own research and learning. I also have experience with sailing and motoring yachts. I also have extensive experience speaking with clients, and gaining insights into their design visions and needs. My problem solving skills also aid me in achieving this on many levels; including design, materials, scaling and measurement, technology, IT and product sourcing. I have gained, over the course of my degree, the knowledge of the structure of the built environment and how I can design and change it. I am a very creative and artistic individual, creating my own artwork by hand, as well as studying design.

I have recently completed a client based Interior Design project outside of University (Pebblebank Project), and another within the University (Bastion 6 Project). My most recently completed project was the Pebblebank Project, and one of my favorite completed projects was my Final Major Project for my degree, based in Boathouse 4 in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, for a "Play Ship" for children aged 4-11.

I am currently looking for permanent employment in the Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire areas.
