Portfolio Interior Architect // Designer
I am currently a sceond year student studying Interior Architecture and Design at Leeds Beckett University. I have always had a passion for design, but my real interest in architecture and the re-using of buildings has progressed recently. The conversion of an existing space is important, whilst restoring it’s relevant history but building a new future. I am a keen traveller, soaking in different cultures and ways of life. Learning and broadening my general knowledge of other worlds is a passion. I am a motivated, organized and hard working person who prides herself on always giving 100% commitment to my work environment. I have developed communication skills across many mediums and take pride in my ability to interact professionally with my superiors, peers and my clientele.

The boats from the yard no longer exist. Parts will have been battered and broken down naturally, falling to the river bed. My design represents these fragments through shards of glass which have gone through a journey of being tossed and turned and broken down. Different materials are contained in sections; the front encage fragments of coal. The coal will gradually break down within the glass as one moves through the site as the material inside turns to sand. The glass fragments which begin to spread widely across the floor, gradually open up and become more inviting and the door more visible. The shape in which the fragments form over the site, forces the public to take a certain winding route, suggesting the river. My aim is to restore the existing historic shipyard with it’s original elements, teaching the public about the transportation history and achieving an aesthetically pleasing installation.

Hopscotch is a space where children between the age of 6-18 who have witnessed a tramtic incident, been through a bad experience or are mentally troubled, can come to. Therapy will be delivered to the children through the form of art.Bridege end is located by The River Aire, which runs through the edge of Leeds city and has a history or cloth dying. The children can learn about this and take part in their own cloth dying activities, based on the large balcony which extends around the back of the building, overlooking the river.

I have developed a space within The Tote building on Catterick Racecourse to become a millinery workshop. Derived from the concept of movement and illusion, ‘Hats Off’ will be a public service in which one can attend a private consulation overlooking the racecourse to dsign and create their very own bespoke hat for the races. On race days, an exhibition in the form of a catwalk will take place, extruding out of the building, relating to the landscape surrounding it.
