How I hope to develop my practice
While in this course I hope to widen my personal skills, focus on my chosen speciality, and learn from my professors and peers. Gaining more practice in digital skills will only help me and prepare me for when I am in the workforce. I also hope to get more hands-on experience with building models, floor plans, and material boards in real time, not just on my computer. Aswell, I hope to learn more about all other disciplines, not just the ones I’m comfortable in. Pushing myself out of this comfort zone will aid me in being a well rounded interior designer and more intriguing to my future employers. While studying at MMU I also would like to strengthen my collaboration skills. Working with others and their design styles will strengthen my ability to work in a group and learn to combine our design styles to create a cohesive space.
The CoHabLab is a work/live space that was introduced to us by picking a client. I chose the painter who produced large scale paintings, had two cats, loved high ceilings, and had a collection of rugs. For these spaces I created large floor to ceiling copper panels that were easily movable and could be used to store canvases or as a workplace to paint. A loft bedroom was created to free up space on the ground floor for workspace and helps to distinguish the spaces from a work environment to a calm relaxing space. Aswell there is a movable staircase that can be used for accessing the bedroom loft as well as reaching the top of the copper panels for their work.
Space for them to work on their art. Relaxing space for them

Temporary Colour is a pop up shop showcasing the Re Air-Chair by Magis and Jasper Morrison. For this project I chose the Re Air-Chair for its use of colour in the products and I wanted to make a fun and intriguing pop up shop. I decided to showcase the chairs by creating large pyramids of stacked chairs to address the playfulness of the colours as well as Jasper Morrison’s design style of showcasing items in a way that consumers wouldn’t use in everyday life. By stacking the chairs I created an expressive display that draws attention and helps the customers to think about how they would use the chairs in their own spaces.
Retro Roll is my major project, which is a three story recreational build where you can enjoy going bowling and roller skating in Chester. The lobby is inspired by design from the 80s with bright coloured geometric graphics and playful escalators. Upon entering the ground floor you are surrounded by clashing colours and neon signs. Taking the escalators up to the first floor will reveal a 10 lane bowling alley and restaurant. Pink and green surround you and bright neon lights help to keep with the 80s theme. The final floor is the rooftop bar that is inspired by the 80s design style of monochromatic with all four colours blending together. There is a full bar and table games like pool, foosball, and corn hole. Retro Roll is the perfect place to relax and hang with friends after a busy week or just a casual weekday hang out.
