ABOUT ME Design according to me is a method of systematic thinking that I use to solve problems and develop opportunities around me. I believe that Interior design is an art form that transcends function and establishes a intimate affiliation between user and the space. I always look at a space from the Client’s Personality, and then treat each surface as an independent piece of art to a harmonious zig zaw. Designing consciously to engage people’s senses and emotions. I am a T-shapes thinker, specializing in Interior design but my knowledge also extends to other areas such of fashion, branding , management and strategy which makes it easier for me to work on projects along different spectrum

RESIDENTIAL
Compact Softness The home was designed for an older couple. The residence had three floors. The concept was to create a mellow environment that bounces natural light off its surfaces easily. Since the home was located on the first and second floor, bring in an easily accessible green space was necessary. The transition between spaces is more smooth because of similar materiality between spaces in the open layout.

Vacation Abode About The residence was designed to accommodate a family of six. The family had an extensive art collection. The interior was designed to add drama and emphasize the art in each room. Spaces have a powerful feminine touch to them inspired by the interactions with the client herself. Since the home was going to be used rarely, we tried bringing in the comfort and experience of being in a resort into the spaces with textures and visual elements that evoked a sense of calm.
1. LIVING ROOM The residence IS Located near a coastal area, a lot of elements were manufactured in-situ. Teak was sourced locally and warm tones were paired to bring in the local warm climatic effect indoors. All spaces have a contemporary chic appeal to them. 5. GUEST BEDROOM

The Concept
The decision to be inspired by tetris game stems form the child’s obsession. We also considered it a personal challenge and used the smallest piece of Piccolo there is available to bring in a certain craftsmanship within the space. The Aqua palette is used to bring in the experience of being in the deep blue sea 4100

McQueen Experience About The design is a conceptual vision as a part of my passion project for the Alexander McQueen brand. Due to the shift in consumer behavior post the pandemic, High street brands can use economically light entry points to connect with consumers. The restaurant will also serve as an artist's collective center, where designers can gather and exhibit their art. The service is completely streamlined with technology from the consumer ’s perspective as well as the internal operations unit all connected through IoT. The design is raw and acts as a canvas with holographic installations to tell the brand’s story and connect with consumers.
Design Process Discover How can design support High street fashion brand Alexander Mcqueen to engage more consumers by building a sense of community?

Digitalisation of services
Highlighting hygiene
Authenticity
Pre-planning
Consumers will be highly conscious of hygiene, easy of accessibility propelled y the pandemic and authentic brand communications that engage customers with their heritage, the art of haute couture. Millenial and GenZ consumer attitudes
Social Currency

Democratising Haute Culture
In the information age, this group enjoys experiences that are more purposeful and forge a new way of socializing. And digital dissemination is critical to reaching a generation of non-traditional consumers, brands that provide accessible brand entry points to connect with a generation with limited funds.

COMMERCIAL
the Concept
Relating the brand’s playful and vibrant approach to its sports wear, I decided to bring the Memphis language of bright pops of colour with playful graphics into the spatial design. Remebering the cause and reason for Memphis style was born perfectly aligned with the Sportle’s story as a fun sports brand.

RESEARCH
Co-Design About I chose this as my research topic to empower young creative organizations to be able to differentiate their service offering and blur boundaries between designers and clients. The research aims to arrive at a strategy for early-career Interior designers who choose to set up their firms to co-create with their clients. The outcome will have to have an increased focus on the programming phase of the design process where designs can be uniquely tailored to achieve more human-centric interiors, better risk sharing, resource sharing, and decreased project duration. Early-career Interior designers were particularly chosen because of the demographic characteristics and lack of knowledge on the business of design when choosing to set their design
The three main areas of focus will be 1. Stakeholders 2. Process 3. Technology The Strategy will be agile and adaptable to individual practices,. It will be delivered in the form of a guide with technological features that will ai the process with an example of a project with the outcomes highlighted. The strategy will include the following topics: -Design process optimisation -Co-creation strategy -Tools to help ealry-career Interior deisngers grow
Self-actualization Esteem Love and Belonging Safety Needs Physiological Needs
Human-Centred Consumer Focused Function Focused
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs
The proposed staretgy further developes on the catergies and sub-catergires.
