About

My approach to interior design is rooted in minimalism and sustainability. I’m drawn to clean lines, natural materials, and simple forms that create calm, functional spaces with lasting impact. Great design, to me, is about how a space works and feels, not just how it looks. Studying BA (Hons) Interior Design at the University of Central Lancashire has helped me sharpen this vision. Through hands-on projects, I’ve gained a solid understanding of industry standards and developed skills in tools like AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Photoshop, and InDesign. Each project has encouraged me to explore new ideas while staying grounded in my core values: simplicity, sustainability, and thoughtful design.

Project overview

CoNest – Bridging Generations Through Design

CoNest. is an intergenerational community hub that brings older adults and young children together in a safe, stimulating, and heartfelt space. More than just a building, it fosters connection, creativity, and mutual care across generations. Inspired by the wisdom of elders and the curiosity of children, CoNest. is a place where age becomes a bridge, not a barrier. Every detail is designed to spark storytelling, hands-on learning, and shared joy. It’s a celebration of memory, community, and the power of human connection, a tribute to the grandparents who guide us, the children who inspire us, and the moments that bring us together.
