profile. I am a passionate, determined person with drive to succeed, always looking to better myself in my work and to learn as much as I can. I consider myself to be a logical and confident designer, able to adapt to an ever changing industry. I thrive on new and difficult projects. I love to work with and learn from as many different people as I can, and endeavour to be a valuable part of any team I work in. I am a reliable, competent person, always putting my whole self into whatever task I am given to produce a positive outcome. I aim to achieve a high standard in all that I do and will always challenge myself to achieve it. A passion for drama and an appreciation of the arts has allowed me to explore the power spaces have. This natural intrigue in spaces and our interaction with them has led me to study Interior Architecture and Design; I appreciate thought provoking, intelligent, bold design and have found a new passion for the regeneration of buildings and the new possibilities contemporary design holds for them.
