SUMMARY With knowledge of the furniture and interior design industry gained from working within Furniture at Heals (which was also the focus of my Dissertation); an Interior Design Studio; and from achieving an Interior Design Diploma, I am seeking alignment between my career and interests. This dynamic industry inspires, enthuses my passions and I am wanting to develop my skills within Interior Design to ultimately establish a career as a Project Design Manager. I attribute my experience in providing solutions, document management, multi-tasking effectively and conscientiously delivering high quality work, to the sectors that I have worked within. Highorganisation, proactivity, adaptability, diligence and a forward-thinking approach; are a few transferable skills accumulated throughout my career.
