About

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and moved to the UK with my family in 2008. I completed my BTEC Art and Design Level 3 Extended Diploma at college and then went on to do a Foundation Degree in Art & Design.

 

Currently I have just completed my BA Hon Interior Design Degree. I completed my first year BA Hons Architecture but at the end of the first year I decided to switch to an Interior Design Degree as I felt I was more interested in designing interior spaces than architectural structures. 

 

I would like to expand my knowledge of the Design Industry learning new skills from others whilst working in the Commercial and Residential design industry. I love and have a strong interest in Architecture and photography. I also enjoy digitally editing photographs that I have taken. 

 

I enjoy painting and sketching, and I love travelling, meeting people, and learning about different cultures. I have always been interested in design and designing with a purpose. I love being able to be creative with different spaces.

Project overview

The Music Room

The Music Room is an art gallery and a café where students can display and sell their own artwork. I wanted to create a space with a clear idea that it would be a place where people could go and feel comfortable and feel a part of the community. 

University students were a key group of people I wanted to focus on when I was creating my idea for this space. The main purpose of this is so that university students no matter what they study have an opportunity to present and display their work in the gallery and to encourage them to have conversations with each other to try and understand why they created those pieces of art and how they could influence others to come and be a part of the community to try something new. 

I wanted to keep the colour pallet very simple when I was thinking about this design as the overall space it must be as neutral as possible so that the artwork does not become overwhelmed with two much colour but still present very well.
